  1. i will experiment when i order the tires and wheels,etc and see what happnes
  2. hi there, i am making a supercar from lego and i try and make it better each time i make a new one i have the front and reae units done but i need to prove the wheel balencing and tire so that it isnt as soft i dont mean thetoughness of the tire fo it being worn medium to super hard is what im looling for medium has average wear life and average grip strengh super hard has high wear life but low grip before i used the tyres and rims from the lego 8448 and put axle brackets under the tire ,it worked great because i had grip/softnes on the surface but low compression of the tire because the brackets stopped it this time round i want to the the rims and tyres from the lego williams F1 car becuse they have plenty of space for the disks and callipers to go inside of.and because they are a nice colour and becuse they are wide and grippy,they are not as tall as the rims and tires from the 8448 but they are wider and smaller wheels give more acceloration i dont really like how soft the tyres are because of the rims having a groove in the middle so i was thinking about going something like i did with the brackets on the 8448 rims so i started by making a loop of legi treads (these are treads that clip together like a chain for tanks and constuction vehcles after being told that they slid about sidewaus in the groove and that they hang loose and stick up too much i decided to ask for help, i need a brick/bricks that fit in that groove fine and dont hang looss and dont stick up too much (because the tire needs to seat properly also non expanding foam is like glue and i want to be able to take them apart and keep them clean
  3. i cant use expanding foam because it sticks and cant be cleaned off
  4. does the tread loop add any hight to the rim when attached?
  5. will it fall off the rim and is it flush with the outer tire grip grooves of the rim
  6. did you try taking a link out and did you attach them and not just place them also i need them to be trapped round the hub/rim/wheel not the tire
  7. yes i wanf to wrap them round thr rim not the outside of the tyre and will they fit on the rim without preventing the tyre to be seated as normal?can't i buy the tyres from a website like bricklink?
  8. hi i was wondering if i joined the chain track pieces together around the groove in the rim if it would fit like that, i need somebody who already has these parts to try it for me so i know before buying them i need the tyre to be seated as it would be without these track chain tread pieces and can you also tell me if the chain track elements are flush with the widest part of the rim (thats the two small ring chanels on both sides of the rim here is the parts http://www.peeron.co...=MetallicSilver http://www.bricklink...asp?P=32296pb02 http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=57518 (real colour [metallic silver] here http://img.bricklink...P/67/57518.jpg)
  9. *update* i am not using the Tyre support ring i am using the chain connections to fill in the dip in the rim middle so the Tyre doesn't compress as far down since this is a race-car it don't need super soft Tyre strength just medium or hard. http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/22969?year=2006&color=MetallicSilver http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32296pb02 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=57518 (real colour [metallic silver] here http://img.bricklink.com/P/67/57518.jpg) lego BBS stickers (from Ferrari F1 car (non suspension version)(already acquired) http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=61927c01 i don't think the track elements will fit either because the rim is 48mm wide and the track elements are 50mm can somebody tell me if they fit inside the rim groove
  10. theoretically it should fit by dimention because it is below the tyre inner diamiter and fits in the dip in the rim but if its plastic it wont pull over the rim can somebody tell me what the matirial of the Wheel 60 x 34 RC Inner Tire Support Ring (47082) Wheel it looks rubber to me i need this for my current project
  11. that helped, can the inner rim support fit on any of the rims i posted?
  12. which rims and tyres are in the ferrari enzo,ferrari f1,,ferrari f1 set (with the suspenion),ferrari 599 and williams f1 set and the silver champion and 8448 super street sensation also can these tyres fit any of the above rims Also what are the dimensions of these 4 tyres and 4 rims and can this be used on any of the rims
  13. Just finished building the 8251 as my first real life LDD model. 8251 - Sonic Cycle - Theme: Technic LXF file Parts that are on LDD but couldn't be attached to the model: -None- Parts that were not in LDD and couldn't be attached to the model The flat hinge plates (1x2) is missing because the only brick in the pallet that is close enough to it is not flush with the studs where the hinge is and prevents the bracketed brick to fit onto of it. The flat hinge plates (2x1) is missing because the only brick in the pallet that is close enough to it is not flush with the studs where the hinge is and prevents the bracketed brick to fit onto of it. No flexi-tube the correct length, also flexi-tubes can't bend in LDD. Software and other faults: No spring coil on the shock in LDD. No available stickers / printed on decorations for this model. Cannot seem to get the bike to angle to both the wheels are more or less on the ground/surface.
