what you guys think? proline shell with kyosho's newest tire/wheel set


any proline users out there experiencing difficulties mounting the shell? i seem to have to remove the front shocks in order to get the front end "nose" on without ruining it :o

P.S....this is a DNA body(ephidelt), stay tuned for another sweet body by WHOME designs :D

...scoobie how do your like those new feet and how are they wearing? Look like they will crack and splinrt like 1st generation ones? Keep us posted...nice paint job too..nice use of the aon sticker bits on the wing...Blue and white is nice...one of the finer uses of blue in this hobby...looks good...

The race director where I race has purchased those wheels and tires...and this guy is VERRRRY hard on his cars. No breakage yet. These new wheels appear to be made ot sterner stuff.

thanks for the kind words Bit :) ...yea the wheels are definitely real nice, worked fairly well on loose dirt also, dont know how strong they are yet, as i didnt really jump, BUT if WHOME says they can survive a bashing from our race director, then they should hold up fine :D ...when i got them i squeezed them to see if they flex and "gave in" like the stockers and they did but not as much, so i applied a light layer of the "goo" on the inside for insurance :rolleyes:

Oh and people take BIT up on his offer, i ended up paying $21 shipped for mine and darn rcmart took 3 days just to ship :(

...Whats weird about these rims is they LOOK symmetrical but look closer and you will see that they are intermittent BIG V's and LITTLE V's...Kinda weird but they look good...very little flex and QUITE different compound from the stock rims...Be Aware there are TWO types...one with the X tread as in Scoobies pics and one with a PIN tread, much like that of the stock tires...Still have couple of sets of both if you are interested...

...hammer I will see what i can do for you buddy...or you are quite safe sending me some funds and i will just oick up aset for you...you know how slow i am at getting things done ;) I am just waiting on one client to give me an answer as to if he wants one set or not...Get back to me by mail if you need me...

...Ascubie they are more a regtangular block than a pin...I have to get picks for Y'll tonight...I only picked up one set of the blocks because i figured that the Xtread was going to be more popular for a while...pics coming though...
