I really like the rat with high roof, maybe just throw a fuel tank on the back since it doesn't look like there's room for a 5th wheel.

The semi pulling the I-beam trailer is just wild.

I use this for gluing the tires....


As far as cutting them, just a good sharp razor knife and i used the outer line on the tamiya tires as a guide. Wasn't hard to do.
I sanded the big tires some when they where done to flatten the tread back out, its alittle wavy from the curve of the three tires together.
