FMS Max Smasher V2 Initial Thoughts and Paint

[Hammer Down]

OK you $%#^@*&'s you made me order one, are you happy?

You want to be part of the cool kids don’t ya?
Knew I could get someone to cave…

 

[WickedFog]

Congrats @Doom! - I promise you, you're going to love it

Hammer D. 4 da win!
@Doom! is the real winner with his soon to be new rig that can fit in the back seat of his newest for now rig.
(wait did that make sense?)

Ok guys. I have seen cute puppies, cute kitty cats, and cute babies. But this is the cutest durn thing I've ever seen!

Undecided if I should go with white wheels, or black.

The top of the truck will be white. The bottom will be red. Like this.

Going to try to do black chrome trim, grille, bumpers, and roll bar, but not sure how that will hold up.

Maybe you'll put out a running vid before someone I know. (i wont mention names)

I'm going to take my time with this one. Breydon won't be back for a couple weeks.

@Hammer Down - you figure out what the hell this is for? It doesn't fit the wheel lugs, or anything else for that matter.

Oh, and these wheels come with a separate beadlock ring. It has to be glued on, but this is so cool because I can dye it red!

The center caps come with two sets. Ones you can access the wheel nut through (pfft, who would use these?), and ones that look real. They are bolt in, and can also be dyed red

They are some of the coolest little tires I’ve ever seen! The tires fit on there pretty good without glue until you start going nuts with it.. so you could try each for a bit, then if they keep coming off the rim you can glue them. I went black cause I was going for the murdered out look.

I couldn’t figure out that T-handle either.

That two tone red is exactly what I was gonna suggest.

 

[WickedFog]

The wheels have 6 holes for the bolts, but the caps only have 2. I'll be drilling these out and adding 4 more bolts. Looks weird like this. Either that, or I'll dye the caps black

 

[Hammer Down]

I didn’t quite understand that either…. I just left mine off cause I kept taking the wheels off to upgrade something and didn’t want to be bothered with them. But the weird wrench and only two screws in the caps was perplexing.

Could it be for scx24 wheel nuts? The typical "T wrench" can't fit into those deep wheel.

 

[WickedFog]

They look badass all assembled. Well, just parts placed where they go

Possibly!

 

[Doom!]

With those tires I could probably drive that in my pool.

Oh hell, that is like Monster Truck nirvana! When Bigfoot was still a new thing it came here and drove in the Wabash river!

 

[Greywolf74]

It's $116.99. That's like 3 or 4 doordash orders for you. Just eat tuna sammiches for a couple days and you'll never know the difference

I've already resorted to that

I'm paying for mine by becoming the ultimate "yes man" to my wife.

 

[Doom!]

I have a customer I'm doing side work for (removing his ex-wife from some photos) that should cover this one.

Wow thats an interesting job to do. Leave her in one of them to mess with him. hahahaha

Never mess with your hobby money supply!

Got the beadlock rings dyed with Rit scarlet red, but they look a little more pale maroon, kinda like red primer. At least if I paint them with the red body color, if they get scuffed, it won't be seen as easily. Heck, I may try to color match the paint to this color. I kinda dig it. I may even just dye the body this color too. Still undecided
