I like the Black just put a little clear on it and make it pop. I paint all of my hard Tamiya bodys with automotive clear and my air brush.

You can never go wrong with aluminum wheels..

Buggy Champ wheels always look great too.
Projects and shelfers:
Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...

I want to get some for my buggy along with one of those exhaust pipes. I never understood why they didnt put them with the buggy champ kit.

Yor car looks great I really like the Black with the wheels

it looks cooler if you go full aluminum or paint the center/inner rim parts black or buy a set of them black proline wheels and just use center/inner rim parts so it kinda looks like it does on the box 8)

Thx guys. I am going to take them apart and paint the centres. The alloy should show up nicely.I considered the full centre line covers but after checkin out some pics I figured I liked this look more.I have been lookin for alloy exhaust since I ordered this car but have had no luck.
