The car looks great!

Well done sir.

Wow, the difference is simply remarkable!
Good job!!

I have a couple of these receivers and I've had no problems with them. Hope this is helpful. Welcome to the forums Dom. :D

I reuse my wheels. I use a rectangular plastic container with an air tight lid and pour in about a half inch of acetone, place the wheel/tires on a 3/4" thick wood block to keep the tire from contacting the acetone, seal the container and leave it for 24 to 48 hours and the tires will slip off ...

100% pure awesomeness right there!

Excellent craftsmanship Chuck. As always.

I agree, those new wheels look great!
They resemble Vaterra wheels but are a little different. I've looked at many many on-road wheels recently and I can't place them. So, can you reveal your source or should we keep guessing??

^^^^^^^^^^ 've looked at many many on-road wheels recently and I can't place them. So, can you reveal your source......... The M/T is Mickey Thompson. A search for Mickey Thompson scale wheels led me to RC4WD and maybe these are those: https://store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-Mickey-Thompson-Street-Comp-SC-5-...
