Wow, nice clean-up, ireg. My buddy (who has a Buffalo) would love seeing this resto.

The kyosho scorpion/tomahawk wheels should fit the ayk bobcat for the body if this is going to be a runner you may want to try a kyosho tomahawk body as a substitute body you will need to do some trimming around the rear shocks but it does look like it would work.Hope this helps you out good luck

Mr. lexan's VW bug is a safe alternative

Nice job Ireg...

What wheels are those?

Ditto! Looks like it cleaned up really nice! I love the wheels too! Who doesn't like yellow!

Tamiya wheels for a fighter something

Me. Except for brown, yellow has to be my least favorite color.

Did you manage to get those wheel hubs apart?

I havent tried removing the wheel hub as i dont want to be disappointed if i cant remove again .
My intention as of the moment is to rebuild the car the way it is and workout from there .

But maybe you want to measure up the wheelbase first (distance between the center of the fron wheel to the center of the back wheel)
That way we can confirm the fit for you

If you plan to use the yellow wheels: which is perfectly possible with quite easy to find parts, you will need to throw out that rear axle and hub anyway. So don't worry about damaging those and just give it a nice tap on the threaded end to loosen the conical fit between the hub and axle

How's the project standing today?

Also note that TBG now makes a Bobcat, and (I think) a Buffalo body.

Hi Mr. ED thanks for knocking
the kit were done using original wheels at the back and kyosho wheels and tire in the front.
cant decide what body shell paint scheme for the moment.

here is the the bodyshell wheels with tires and decals, i just realy hate the painting touches

Anymore progress on this thread? I realise that it is nearly 2 years ago but hey, worth a try!
