I'm planning on keeping it in addition to acquiring a couple beaters... Is there anything I should do to preserve for display? Specifically the tires.

I have heard food grade silicone works and 303 protectant. Don't use anything with solvents in it.

I wouldn't use anything with silicone in it. Remember dash boards of the 80's - 90's?

Aerospace 303 Protectant is a good choice, one of the preferred in the collector auto scene.

Any issues with Meguiars hot shine spray for rc tires?

Looks like I'm gonna give the 303 a shot.

Just got home from a 4 day trip and dug around until I found the world car box. I'm a little disappointed; I was hoping to find my other body, wing and was really hoping there were some leftover decals too but came up empty-handed...... oh well.... What am I missing, is there any other literature I should be hunting for, or is this pretty much it?

Well, I found a couple more things. Only a couple original decals left, I must've used the majority on my other body (which is still MIA)

That's really all that was in the box, minus one or two AE product flyers. That manual should be an early version (showing the Reedy BK motor, CC front tower and steering). New tires for that car (Proline 8086 rear and 8015 front) are floating around on eBay and such-
