thanks Tom , the tire should be narrower ( 1" wide ) to be within scale . But they work . I thought about glueing them after I get it painted (long way off yet ) I like the bounce too , it reminds me of the real 1's I use to watch waiting to get loaded at the quarry I seen them running in . those where m45's single axle . I think they scrapped them by now

Ben , I put my 55# daughter in it last night and pulled her around like nothing . That was about all the 645mg steering servo could handle .

Want to see it first-hand sometime.

come to cabin fever next week end

thanks Matt , I can slow it down with the radio , I just got to be smother on the stick .

I finish up a few things and loaded her up for a move to it's 1st job next sat. to see how she'll hold up . See if I can burn the ums pump motor up (not really want to )
