Was thinkin of dyeing the wheels but I like how it looks now.

Looks good Willy. What color were you thinking of for the wheels? Hot pink would really set that body off.

I agree Hot Pink Would look good and very different on a Losi!

Yeah, pink wheels and pink springs would look great. You can also get some white RPM rod ends and dye those pink along with a pink puretch battery strap.

You should have 'shopped the springs too while you were at it.

LOL!! I AM workin on it.

Highwayracer,how did you do that ? I have to admit,I'm not a big fan of pink but that does look pretty sharp.May end up giving this one to my daughter.

In related news, I've actually contemplated dying a yellow pair pink, but am expecting to get some sort of flourescent orange (without photoshop obviously). If I give it a shot, I'll let everyone know what happens. If it's whacked, I figure you can go black. I've noticed that the xx spoked yellow wheels are still easy to get, but the white (naturals) seem tougher to come by now.

I have been lookin for these in white and havnt come across a set yet!

I'm pretty sure they only ever existed in fluo yellow

i thougt i have seen them in natural

I've recently come around to the "period correct" Day-Glo accents. Nice car WillyT! I vote for more, like the antenna, battery strap, springs. A combo of pink and/or yellow works fine with the sticker scheme you already have. Even a little baby blue on the springs may be interesting.

I found a parts list on-line and it did list the 5-spoke in natural. They were A7040 and A7140 for the fronts and rears respectively, as opposed to A7041 and A7141 for the yellow. How common they are is another thing.

I have bought every white set I could ever find and I have a lot of fronts but only 4 rears. they are Discontuned and Very hard to find. here they are on my old Junior Two

Yes Willy that car looks great

Thanks guys.What color springs should I be running on this thing.

...and here they are again!

I say pink. a bright yellow might look ok too but i think white will be too bland.
