   *** Crazy 8 ***    (Ford F150 offroad racer)      12/11/02

  This is a fully custom Ford race truck I made for the new "SMALL TIRES" (ST) tracks.

 I started with the stock Ford F-150 crew cab body from 4x4 EVO.  Major modifications include Trans-Am style extended front fenders with brake-cooling exhaust vents, new rear section with flared fenders, and a wind-cheating front air-dam with brake-cooling intake vents.  The trick red/white paint and decals were done in Arcsoft Photostudio and Adobe Photoshop.

 A big-block 502 cubic inch engine was bolted in, and a lightweight aluminum wing mounted to the crome-moly steel frame.  Long travel gas shocks dampen the bouncy-bouncy, and extra-bright offroad lights up front let the driver see where he's going during night events.


  Simulated fully-independant suspension axles are shod with wide 44-inch tires, mounted on heavy-duty steel 6-spoke truck rims painted white.  Braking is done with the 4-wheel drilled disc brakes.

  Finally, a wav file of Army Armstrong saying "CRAZY 8" was included.

The SMALL TIRES tracks can be found at http://mtm2.com/~mtmg/tracks/
(search under "malibu350" for any track with an "ST" emblem in the name...there are 3 to date, with more coming.)  

You can use the small tire trucks on any track,... but if it's not an "ST" track, then the truck will float slightly above the surface......
