the pro definitely came with gold wheels. I specifically remember pulling them fresh out of the pack. They were chrome plated black wheels, then coated with some kinda yellow stuff to make them look gold, which was easily removed with a solvent. the wheels look painted becuase the chrome wears off the black plastic, and it then looks like someone painted it. Mine are the same way.

unfortunately, I only have a flap left of my box, the rest got water damaged, I'll have to try and take a scan or pic of it one of these days.

Cool car... I also have a proradiant as well as a radiant. All packed up in boxes at the moment as we just moved into a new place and I had no time to setup an R/C room. The Radiant is a nice gold plated all aluminum chassis but heavier than the proradiant.

Here are a few picts of my cars. At the time they were collecting dust as I was away from Canada, now I'm back but I hve no time (for now)

By the way how is your spur gear mounted? I don't recognise the metal bit in the middle of the gear.

the spur gear has a molded in metal hub, if you look at hotrodjosh's pics, you can see a better shot. That is a factory piece.

My Boost has a few customized bits on it and the spur/slipper is an aftermarket 'WASP' unit.

You forgot to mention that it goes like a feaking animal!

The Radiants, with the saddle Race Prep conversion, are absolutely awesome to drive.
