Thanks Mo.

Hmmm, 65mm = 2.56 inches, so the PMD/Tamiya tires are bigger, where the ones on the PMD/Wedico version are only 50mm, just short of 2 inches. Going 'by eye', the deck on it seems to be about the same height off the tires, so another 1/2" puts the PMD/Tamiya deck at about 3", and the Wedico one would be lower, about 2.5", right?

So, w/ the extenders out, the Goldie is only 1/4" narrower (6.35mm), her deck is about 1/4" lower in height, but she is over 3" longer (76mm) and with those really neat double-bent ramps.

Oh, and add that Tamiya offers free shipping on CONUS at the mo, $609 price tag. Only prob: I'm in Canada, and would been a buyer/re-shipper to get that deal. NAFTA my scrawny tush!

PS: makes me wonder - measurements seem to indicate the PMD 'extenders' are longer. Could they be retro'd to the Goldie to make her even wider? Just idle thoughts.
