This is a tire rack scaled for the Traxxas TRX4m. There are two files - the normal one "1/18 Scale tire rack" is sized to fit two full sets of stock-sized tires off the TRX4m (53mm x 20mm). The second file "1/18 Scale tire rack - oversized" will accommodate eight bigger tires (61mm or under x 26mm or under). Either rack is configured to be printed as is in the STL.

It should be pretty straightforward to assemble. You could use a dab of hot glue or CA glue in the joints, but they should be pretty snug straight off the printer. Just stick the posts into the side frames, and you're good to go.

I am running a V2 of both files. It addresses earlier issues with printbed warping and tight clearances. It should fit snug with no print issues now.

This could also work with 1/24 scale, though it may be slightly big for that. If you have an SCX24 and would like an appropriately scaled version, let me know, and I'll be happy to scale it down.

UPDATE - 1/5/2025
I finally got around to printing the oversized version, which is the silver one in the gallery. I printed it with "fuzzy skin" for texture, which turned out really good.

If you print this, please post a make! It helps me gauge community engagement and know what I need to do better. Your feedback is incredibly helpful to me!
