Lego Mickey Thompson Racing Slicks

thingiverse

I love my Lego Mustang, but I always felt it was missing something. The fact that they give you a Big Block with a super charger yet only one set of tires just felt wrong. For the rear tire I took the original tire off and took all the measurements of both it and the rim. Then I found the set of Mickey Thomspons that I liked. I printed it in TPU so that is still just like a rubber tire. I wasn't able to change filament easily on my Tronxy X1, so I simply painted the Letters in white paint. The front tire was a little trickier. My Tronxy died, and my Ender 3 kept jamming with the TPU, so I switched to PLA. This way I was also able to switch to white filament to get the lettering. I also had to make a new rim for this tire, as there was no decent looking rim available for it. So, I designed the rim after SS Cragars. I made 2 versions, one regular for TPU, and another with no back lip so it can slide into my PLA printed tire.
