Monster trucks

[KBryan67]

This is probably a stretch but does anyone know where possibly they still sell 1/25 scale plastic model  monster trucks (tires size bout 2 1/4 diameter). I found 1 on eBay a Datsun "scavenger" which I ordered. Im seeing 1/32 scales on eBay but that to small.  Or even just the lower end (everything below the chassis) in the 1/25 scale? I've searched online and nothing besides the one I did find. Like I said I know it's a stretch or long shot but thought I would ask.

     Thanks all

The easiest way to get the tires is buying the AMT USA-1 kit. It was in constant production for about a decade so the market is fairly glutted with them. Don't pay more than $15 or so for one.

I've looked on eBay n another site can't remember but those were 1/32 scale which is to small couldn't find 1/25.

You may want to check this thread. There may be more than you are aware of. It might give you a broader search.
Sure eBay prices on some of these are absurd, there are times when you can get a good deal. You gotta keep your eyes open.

These are the ones to look for, there is also a Munsters version of this kit in black that can be found cheap.

There's also the Lindberg kits, but I think those tires are bigger than 2-1/4". I think they're more like 3"

The Ford monster trucks form AMT had 3 inch tall tires. The MPC Bronco monster truck had 2 3/8 inch tall tires. Good luck fining one cheap enough to just take the tires off of.

Hi guys,

   So I got this one in mail 1/25 scale. Tires are a bit smaller then the 2 sets I aquired years n years ago but not by much. I'm gonna use bottom end for a monster truck GTO that I have. The rest of this kit (chassis on up) I'm probably gonna make a hot rod out of it. Plus I have another 1/25 monster coming in mail.
