Tried to get to full throttle but the tennis court was too small. Rough concrete surface.

Finished the GTO. No Iwaver CB but very clean ZZMT motor and LiPo install.

Is that the Radio Shack wide tire kit? On the one I tested I had some balance problems that prevented good performance.

Can you give me some measurements for the tires? I want to make some aluminum wide rims, but I'm not sure how wide to make it. The important dimension is the total width and the width of the little rim around the outside edge.

I seem to have a packrat infestation, or my calipers sprouted legs and ran off all on their own. But without the aid of a precision measuring tool the tires are:

7 mm wide, with a 1mm wide rim and 5mm wide trough (1mm-5mm-1mm)

On the inside they are 12mm tall with a 0.5mm high lip (0.5mm-11mm-0.5mm)

Even without the calipers these measurements are most likely right on the money.
