Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
Nope, those are RC4WD they make them in 2.2 and 1.9
Whole garage is dirty. The bikes don't have a chance at keeping clean between sparks flying from the rally car or rc builds.

Re: PFB's Vario JD 850D
Not sure on the tires, hopefully they'll hold some weight stock. Otherwise I'll stuff more foam or plastic bbs in them.
