NARROW PADDLETRAKS !!!!
Here's the first prototype of my latest tyre idea. There is a few minor changes needed to get the rims to sit properly.
I wasn't sure about them as I was making them, but with alloy covers and tyre lettering they could look very cool.
After studying them for a few hours I think they look quite fun, I haven't tried them yet, but beach running could be a real laugh..
Anyway, 'everyone' let me know your thoughts ... ??? all comments welcome. :)
I forgot to mention the lights are finished

They look great

I like um!! As you say they would look the part on a beach runner but not sure how the grip would be or how they would affect handling??? Would like to try them on my Hopper!!
great stuff SRB Bloke,
cheers MAD-BEE.

Another smart idea, they look really good.
CASE1
That bug is looking really great! I love the paintjob and the tires look good and are very unique too, what else could you want?
JWeston
They look the nuts, they really really do!

Looks different with the small version of the rear tires, but it looks cool on your Scorcher. When we see the hole Scorcher with your best tire choice and the interior finished!

SMOKE-DOG
Sweet. Nice paintjob.

Looking good Steve, but do you need paddles on the front if you ain't got 4wd?
Just a thought!!
SRB Bloke
Thanks for your comments, if the front wheels were powered they would be so cool.

Great! Looks much more even with those tyres.
Butcher-Bird
man..that looks great!...novel idea!

The Scorcher looks great, just not too sure about the tyres...
mr alan
Very cool Steve!
Henk4Focus
Dang, that looks so cool Steve.
OrangeSport
Looks great! Be interesting to see how they work on the beech.
GingerSpice
Looking great so far, lights look awsome, wheels we all await feedback on how they get on in the sand, ace paint scheme and No69 a cool number either way you look at it and in general

The Scorcher's coming along GREAT SRB Bloke, but far prefer your 315's. Not only do they LOOK awesome but I'm sure azz that they WORK as good!
Volksrod
How do they look on the back with normal smoothies up front?
casethejoint
Those look fantastic! You're becoming a bit of a tire fabrication expert
hadtoownahilux
these look cool steve. now i see why you were asking about old wheels. nice one.
viperchief
Awesome lights! Awesome tires! Awesome build!
matman
Fantastic job on the light's , But yer not sure on the front tires , for handling . Looks good
Would be good if you give us a update on how they work . Thanks .
SRB Bloke
Thanks for every comment, I was thinking of making these like I did the '315s' but you are all right. I need a trial run (maybe I'll try and get a video of then working, or NOT as the case maybe)

Steve, your talent never ceases to amaze me, superb job on the lights and the tyres.
Toykid
Steve, lights look great as do the tires. Have to see them with the white lettering to really finish it off. These would really look good on the F150 I think.
gr2fltp
Great work Steve
the F150 idea sounds a good one to try them on. Surprised older TC members haven't mentioned the 4WD kit that was available in very limited quantities back in the early 80's from CRP or MRP or similar driven by a flexi/snake drive. I remember a few Tc members had them in their showrooms

real nice fab work.
pastimesteve
That is one EXCELLENT bug! Great job.

Love the lights ... beautifully integrated ... nice tires! ...
Doc007
Ouch - this is a scorching Scorcher. Have never really liked the original fronts so these make a great alternative- well done
skywhelp
crazy looking bug, absolute gem, i think if you flip the tyres left to right on the front make them more of a dart than scoop, unlike the back, they will run better on the sand
works on mtbs, they do look cool though
skywhelp
ha ha knew i saw them bruv, did you try them the other way round yet?
SRB Bloke
@ skywhelp - Doh!! I didn't realise what you meant to start with, stupid me. Now I get it, haven't finished the bug yet. But I'm testing them as soon as I do..
Dirt-540
Practical for 2WD or not, these look super cool! I want these now as well as the 315s, my want list is getting out of hand. Brilliant!
Meakz1973
Steve, these look fantastic! I would love to see these with white lettering too. Your bug is a very cool creation, well done sir!
slimmy
Wow!!! The lights look so awesome. I remember when you first started this project. Nice work my friend. You are the man when it comes to narrowing a set iof treads.
Practice makes perfect
