Hi KidAgain, I got those measurements for you.

Front & rear wheels are both 1-7/8" diameter. Rear wheel width is almost the same, maybe a touch over 1-7/8". Front wheel width is about 1". Hope this helps!

Most of these parts would only be 30-70% as strong depending on how it's made and where it is. If you can get a real injection molded piece, I would advise to get it. If you are a really good driver with smooth lines and not much traffic they would hold up. I would not suggest printed shock towers, ...

I have a printed part on my Vaterra Twin Hammers , its the mount on top of the rear diff that the two top arms connect to the live rear axle , I never expected it to last long and was planning on using it as a pattern to mill one out of ally , I've bashed seven bells out of that car , massive jumps ...

Printed parts can be very strong if they're designed properly, printed properly, and use good materials. Unfortunately, that's a lot of variables. Parts that are a visual copy of injection molded parts won't be as strong, but parts that are designed to be 3D printed can incorporate additional materi...

Yes, that’s what they were made for

They were supposed to be extra quiet due to the rubber insulator.

I like the decals on the tires.

I like the decals too

Personally, I'd go with option #1.

You've likely blown 1 or 2 of the 6 drive channels. Does it still work in Brushed configuration? Be careful about using it though... sometimes the blown FET is stuck 'on' and conducts, which heats up the heatsink even if ESC seems to work ok. No idea if anybody fixes them anymore. Could be possible ...

Well, I got a variation of wheel/hex extenders but was unable to use them due to screw threads. One side is standard and the other is metric. This was in order to move the wheels closer to the body rather. Since none of the extenders worked for me i resorted to using the original Associated Mustang ...

Well, I guess you could cut them down. Why are they so wide? I don't recall even 1/8th scale road cars having wheels that wide.

Reminds me of this:

It will work for a shelf car. Not f as r a car that's used alot. The cross pins are slightly smaller than original.

Nope. Side plates are different....motor mounts much closer to the diff on the direct drive than the belt drive.

Can't wait to see this project progress and then see it in action
