I think it works! It kinda offsets the yellow wheels.

Looks good to me. Didn't those wheels come off a World's car. Seems like the one I had 40 forevers ago had those in the kit. :?:

Well I took it for a run around the park and it goes really well, and because I installed a hyperdrive belt drive system it hums along..but rides high in the front and seems to squat too low at the rear...

So I re-read Ricks original thread on the start of the build of this car. Somewhere along the way it got a bit off theme, so I've now put it right. It now has smaller front shocks to lower the nose down a bit and the rear shocks are on the higher most hole on the truck shock tower.Looks heaps better now I think...
