Looks good. What tires are those? Also, what did you use to put the body together? Are they rivets?

Thanks, guys.


CurtisP - Those tires are Pro-Line Dirt Hawgs. I'm not sure how they'll work on the track, but they are basically all I can use due to current track rules(street style tread). If they don't work well, I'll take the Dremel to them and add some siping.

The body is held together by small stainless screws and nuts. I know they're not the lightest, but they work and look good.

I thought that they looked like steel. If you want to lighten the body a little bit, check out www.kippshobbies.com . He has nylon screws/nuts available in about 4 or 5 colors.

I agree with the others...I like the black/green combo

you can use custom works street tracks. im sure they will hook up better then the prolines. and there a bit smaller diameter. will giver the car a more edm style look.

Thanks. I wish I'd checked at Kipps beforehand. I ended up spending $10 on the stainless stuff. I guess if I end up feeling the need to lighten the body up I'll buy a set or two of the nylon.

That's the McAllister "Syracuse" EDM body. It now comes with the "Volusia" style formed roof and side panels.

Thanks for the advice. These tires were something I had laying around. I've also got a set of Pro-Line ribbed fronts and rear Holeshots if the rules get changed.
