Cool Monster Truck made out of Zen Magnets
Loading...
Uploaded by tend2it on Mar 20, 2011
Monster Truck requires 762 Zen Magnets (or equivalent neodymium balls) to make.
Sorry ... no tutorial on this one ... Pictures available on my flickr page. The truck was constructed by layering 2 magnet sheets, adding a custom hollow cab, and adding additional details (engine compartment and hood, front, and rear pickup bed..
Components:
(@222) - Truck
(@096) - Axles - 2 x (8 x 6-ball rings)
(@444) - Tires - 4 x (3 x 36-ball folded hexagon)
(@111) - Tire - 3 x 36-ball hexagon (folded and flattened)
Tire Subunit construction:
1) Start out with a 36-ball hexagon
2) Fold the two flat 4-ball edges together
3) Fold the two single-ball tips together
4) Flip over ... should see Two 2-ball pairs sticking up
5) COOL Part! ... Take each of the Two 2-ball pairs and push them down towards the center towards each other one side at a time.
6) The 2-ball pairs should join at the Center forming a 4-ball square.
7) The surrounding area around the pair should spread out into a spread flattened dome shape.

Zen Magnets is a fantastic, creative, magnetic puzzle. It consists of a set of 222 powerful neodymium magnet balls. Multiples of the set can be combined to make larger, more complex shapes. The reflective clarity of the Zen coating is amazing. Purchase them at http://www.zenmagnets.com
