Its a stock Tamiya Midnight pumpkin, always wanted one
Am after anything to make it faster, some oil filled dampers. Dont know much about them to be honest.
But need it to be faster than the dogs. Evan my Bull Mastiff can catch it.

is them wheels a set of 4 ??? as sometimes rc wheels are sold individually or in sets of 2 rims. otherwise i would order some. near the bottom it says 1x wheel set now does that mean 1 wheel and tyre ???? seams a bit cheap for 4. Ł10 for 4 making a set of 4 is still cheap for rc wheels and tyres.
roy,
usually rc car wheels do come up larger but some are ok
