What tires to use on dragster 42010 and 42011

[WR3KL3SS]

I made some mod's to the dragster and want to change the front tires to be more accurate. I put the pulleys on there, don't know if there's a tire for this or maybe just need to find a thick small rubber band. Any ideas or suggestions on tire choice? Thanks!

Looks good! I think the rear wing could be higher up though. Unless my memory is faulty, that s a feature of this type of vehicle.

Since you're already modding...

They do have small tires for the pulleys

I thought I'd seen them before as well....to Bricklink I go!

Quick mod to make rear wing taller...

You want http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=70162 as tyres for the pulley wheels.

I still like the 42010 stand alone racer, even though it has no steering control or suspension. The combo w the 42011 is rather odd looking IMO.

Final...I think....

Nice work! It looks a lot more like a stereotypical dragster now. if you don't mind me saying, I do feel that the while the longer 'nose' section is entirely appropriate, it looks a bit 'bare'. While further back on the car there's a second beam coming down at an angle, it might look just that little bit more authentic if that beam was longer and thus reached further down the 'nose'. You've already made great improvements to the appearance and colour scheme of this model though, so it's already a success.

I thought about that too but was being lazy...lol. This is much better.

It does look better like that, but I also preferred the pulleys for wheels. I think they were more authentic in size.

Just waiting for the tires to come in for the pulleys, will post more pics when received.

You've turned a frankly mediocre model into something much better, in my opinion. I wasn't at all enamoured of the dragster combo model at first, but now... it's a completely respectable and nice looking model which I really like.

It looks much, much better than it did originally!

Thanks!

The original model looked so ugly I almost didn't want to build it.

Better pic's with a real camera!

Modified rear wing and made slightly longer.
