Testing glued and taped tire on pass side you can see the difference between a taped tire compared to stock tire................... my car with the 4.5t motor just smokes the tires throughout the run while they look like pizza cutters passing me

More testing to follow to see if the glue holds the bead.

Not to bad although it is much closer in size as the stock front tires once mounted:



taping tires with just 3 revolutions of duct tape works good but still very pliable:

If you look hard enough you can find these out in the universe

I spy a split bumper Camaro in the man cave! I have to resort to small rc cars to restore as my spare funds are rather small when married with children.

Why yes you do see my 1100 wheel horsepower split bumper good catch. Got it done before marriage and children

Ahh.... with a big ass hair dryer too! Very nice!

Back to the DS, received the aluminum goodies to bad the "gold anodize" isnt AE gold which I new going into it but quality stuff none the less......................

And everyone the rubber tires work excellent on the factory rubber wheels i tortured them pretty good. These are available, cheap, fit the body well and have great traction. Since these worked so great other options open up from the other manufactures like 'Ride tires' or 'Pits' which are made for the same tamiya chassis/wheels

Going to try them on the foam wheels also stay tuned........

Cant wait to see the final paintjob!
