    Now it rolls!

    New wheels and tires $25 mounted and glued. I don't care if they last for that price.

    This will be my third. I don't paint the grip because it just gets worn off.

    This was done a few years back, I use paint for models NOT lexan.http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/...NFnBFkm_12.jpg

    How are those tires working on the KB car Nick? Ive got a set on my VXL powered E4T (with the 10mm offset in the back ) and like them on that so far.

    I'm also kinda curious, which brand model paint did you use Model Master, Testors, or Tamiya?
    Aw, Biscuits!

    Man, this car really handles well w/ these tires. I did notice after one 15 minute session , the tires already show signs of wear. But again this KB handles like a dream. I have my ride height at 6mm front 5 mm rear and it darts from corner to corner. I love it !Can't wait for racing tomorrow!

    I get decent wear on NiMH packs in the E4T, I did slice one of the rears open when I first put a 3s in it though, the replacements haven't had an issue though!

    Wow I love this thing. It handles like a dream .I have a wide rusty I'm gonna get rid of for a merv. I love the whole small , fast , lightweight stuff. Everything as far as parts goes is fairly cheap. Tons of after market stuff coming out also.
