Are those touring car wheels? and if they are, how did you install them, what parts did you need to get or what to do?

thanks

Dude, that looks wicked! I always liked one color paint jobs just as much as the really stylized ones.

yeah, they are 1/10 touring car wheels. I went on ebay and bought the adapters. delrin adapters are around $8 and the alluminum adapters are $15. What I like about the alluminum adapters is that it extends the wheels further out more.

lol, yeah I had the mt2 18ss before, and I still have the stickers. I put the 18ss because its 1/18th scale. :)

Which purple did you use?
And if it was Tamiya, which number?

[ChuckDeez]

I used Pactra spray can paint.

Trinity also has wheel adaptors -see Tower- for the RC-18T. This is what I use on ours -see pix-.

nx7Any shots of the VW Bug with the body off? I'm wondering on how to mount it.

And lovin' that Monster Mutt. What body is it?

[Nitroracerx7]

Thank Y'all for the kind words ;) , I'm flattered! I don't have any pix of the VW Bug nekkid :o . I can tell you how it's mounted though... I've simply cut out the parts the rear shocks/tower hit, then slip the body pins between the rear shocks and tower to hold the body on. See pic :) I also use slightly modified- Mini T rear body posts -see mini Porsche GT-1- on our RC18-T's. <- depending on the body.
Monster Mutt is a Trinity "Nitro Hauler" body (I think?!). I know the actual Monster Mutt isn't a truck, but my wife wanted one... That was all I had on hand that was close. Glad Y'all like it! She has a blast driving it :)

I m really curious how you got the window outlines so absolutely perfect on that purple truck body. I can't even get a good single outline on my 10th scale when you're ablr to get an amazing double outline with an 18th scale. Any tipe or tecniques? thanks. That looks realy hot.

Those are just stickers that come with the body. He used the window masks that come with it to paint the purple, but then placed the stickers on the outside.
