The combination of broken -white with bright white is just not working out that well.
White lettering on the tire walls though...
Red or natural?

BTW: I agree :wink:

natural, but try running a red line on the edge : so you have black tire with white lettering ( ;) ), thin stripe of silver , red line, thin strip e of silver and then the wheel goes inward

Both are okay, but red looks much more unique.

Now that would look cool! If you could do that, I would. :wink:

That would be tricky: There is no lettering on the tires and to get the striping right on the wheels wouldn’t be easy… :? I have to give this some thought…. 8)

How about the nerf-bars and the wing? :?:

Here's another idea that would be easier to accomplish: you could sand off the red anodizing from the outer lip of the red wheels, then polish it. As that lip has a 90-degree angle with the part of the wheel going inwards, it would be easy to do without messing up the rest of the inner anodizing, and you'd end up with a nice, shiny polished outer rim to contrast with the red wheel interiors and chrome spinners. :idea: And, it'd be unique because I doubt anybody has done that already. ;)

Sounds as an interesting idée, I like it. :D

I agree sounds good too. For either: just clamp a 4 or 5 mm axle (or whatever you're using for bearing size) in a vice and spin the wheel while you keep some polish or a red marker steady on one point. If it fails you wipe it off and try again

wing: silver with the continued lines from the front.

Nerf bars... I dunno: will they be visible at all?
Ifso : red with white text decals: like kyosho boxart

Ifnot; maybe put his aside for a scorpion body where they will be more exposed to the eye

That's a good idea, here's another along the same line of thinking:
