nah, i'm not going to run it. i just mean some period correct proline xtr's. 8115 fronts, 8081 rears...... something along those lines. i have a couple pairs of the 2.2 losi rear rims with the lexan cone for the AE 1/4" axles, so i thought about using a pair of them on it.

i do have some proline "red" 7025 fronts and 7060 rears i could maybe use.

do you mind sharing the peroxide process? I have read several posts refering to it but never any specifics. Also you mentioned boiling the plastic? Btw great looking restoration.

here is a big thread about the peroxide treatment:

the parts were boiled to make sure the peroxide was cooked out of them. if you don't, over time, the peroxide can discolor the anodizing on the chassis.

What are the 8081's ?

i think they're a step pin. but i was just throwing out examples in my earlier post, not necessarily looking for those exact tires.

I have a nip set of pro 81's that look just like flat stubies but are a harder compound and have no sidewall writing.

Mine are 7081! Here is the pc of them next to the flat stubbies and my favorite two types of front tires.

yeah, yours are the "red" ones.

i like the 8115 fronts as well. i have one NIB pair left, but i have plans of using them on another build.

I sold one set of those 8115 so I'm down to only 6 new sets now
