I'm guessing you got it for a good price??

P.S; Its been along while since i've seen a set of those Schumacher bar-spike tyres :D
well it will take some time before this yoke will bloom again!

The front tires are Tamiya Super gripper and the rear tires are Hot Laps NTR-31

I didn't really see the letters, but I did remember the spike pattern as I planned to find a set for my upgraded Avante but gave up the idea when I found out how much they go for. :lol:

Would you like me to send it to you for free? just pay the shipping!

The tires are not really good to hit the surface but good for display with a little dab of Armor All or Son of a Gun!

My problem is how i am going to remove this tires on the wheels in one piece! :mrgreen:

As long as the rims are not made by Duratrax ;) they will be fine. Acetone should only melt the glue.

the buggy is very original and the rim's certainly look like yokomo, just dap a little acetone on the inside of the rim as a test spot.

Those look to be yokomo rims, which will be fine in the acetone. After the tires are removed, clean thoroughly with soap and water. Then peroxide them for 3-4 days in the sun, and they will look like new :D . -Jeff

It appears to be in very nice shape. Just a little cleaning to be a shelfer.
