Calculated the weight factor parameters for my Tumbler.
Each SAM-43 Super Swamper max loading 2855 lbs
X 4 = 11,420 lbs
Each Mickey Thompson front tire max loading 1500 lbs
X 2 = 3,000 lbs
Combined max loading weights = 14,420 lbs
In reality I can only use a factor of 1500 lbs per tire X 6 = 9,000
lbs for any weight loading above axle or in front of the rear tires.
6 equal points of ground contact X 1500 lbs = max loading of 9,000 lbs.
Needed front tires rated at 2855 each to get the full max loading of 11,420 lbs
So, I will try to keep my total Tumber weight around 8,000 lbs or less
but will have 9,000 lbs as a maximum possible total weight if I should
need it.
If I needed a little more tire weight carrying capacity above 9,000
lbs I would have to add some weight back behind the rear axle. The
fulcrum effect would tap into the lost 5,420 lbs of max tire loading
from the rear tires. vertigo

Welded up truss both on outside and inside of joints.
Used a grinder to clean up and grind all welds smooth on truss and horizontal hemi-joint mount.

| That looks great. Really makes me want to get to work on my project for real and not just a mockup.

"That looks great. Really makes me want to get to work on my project for real and not just a mockup." sly
hey sly,
Every piece of wood you shape to size is working on your DOJ build.
Every piece a wood pattern.
Just think how fast your physical build will go once your mockup is complete.
A complete set of patterns. vertigo

ALERT: Hot Toys Batman Tumbler
This might have a significant effect on new Tumbler builders being able to obtain this 1/6 scale Tumbler.
Two months ago a few individuals began buying up the Hot Toys 1/6
Batman Tumblers remaining in the market for 450-600.oo.
Result: Two months later most of these Tumblers are now being offered
for sale on Amazon and other sites for a median price including
shipping for around 1200.oo. That is double the price from two months
earlier. The other 50% of these Tumblers range in price from 1249.oo +
shipping to a high of 1955.oo. This same pattern happened in the past
with the first generation release of the Hot Toys Batman Tumbler. The
average selling price went above 3000.oo with some offered for as much
as 5000.oo. At this point Hot Toys produced a second release of black
1/6 Batman Tumblers and an additional run of camouflaged 1/6 Batman
Tumblers. These releases sold for 499.99 each.
If the current trend continues and the market for Hot Toys Batman
Tumblers continues to move at these price increases we will be seeing
additional released production runs of the Hot Toys 1/6 Batman
Tumbler. Further research in this shows that those in the market for a Hot Toys 1/6
Batman Tumbler are currently not buying them for much more than 850.oo.
