Not sure if this has been posted, but saw in the chrismas planagram for RS that there will also be a red and yellow '04 vette w/ chassis. Same deal for mitsubishi Evos.

Yeah, the numbers are a few pages back. Wonder what happened to the evo's. We've had thier numbers for quite sometime now. I was really looking forward to those. There is a pic of the red corvette a few pages back too.

here's a closeup of the tires that come in the custom tire and wheel kit. they call them slick, swamp, and all season.

kind of disappointing... i think rs could have done a lot better with the tread design. maybe they'll look better on the truck...

I just wanna find some!!

If RS had a half as decent distribution system as our communication, it would sell so much more stuff.

tell me about it... who knows when these will actually show up in a store in my area. there are stores around me who still don't have any of the trucks and some who are now just getting them in.

i get most of my stuff online (in batches of $25 for the free shipping

). these i had the store order for me. actually not a bad deal; takes about a week, but you don't have to pay for shipping even if it's less than $25.

My shack finally got the MT's in today. I picked up a Monster Patrol. Body is fugly, but I wanted the green wheels. Gonna have to see if I can come across a Grave Digger MT body.

I like the tires. I want some.

The ones on the left look almost like the ones Bigfoot has been running lately, and the ones in the middle could have been a little better, but still I dig the tall mud tire look. Not sure I'd use the slicks much, but they just look sticky.

Did the tire set come with extra wheel nuts?

nope, no nuts or washers, just the wheels and tires.

by the way, awesome paint job on the spidey. been thinking about painting mine, just can't decide on a color.

Yeah just picked them up last night. Really I think it's BS the wheels don't include spare wheel nuts. Those nuts are too damn easy to lose, and what, you're supposed to just give up on your $25 toy if you lose a nut?

Meanwhile the motor comes with an extra motor clip. I've never lost or damaged one of them clips. I've got piles of motor clips for my Zip Zaps cause I don't need the extras.

*rant mode off*

I like the tire set. The chrome rims and mudder tires give the truck a different look. It looks more like a tall truck than a monster. Which I like because really monsters sit down on the wheels more.

Did you notice the wheels look slightly different? And the silver wheels are slightly different than the silver ones that come on the Bigfoot. I've actually seen four different wheels styles. Surprised they're doing that

Thanks for the compliment on the paint job. I'll tell ya, I'm still deciding on a color for mine too, that's why I just did it up silver, silver makes a great base coat for other metallic colors, but I am growing found of the silver.

Like a Corvette.

Now that I think about it, they did have another color too. I just grabbed the red one real quick one day before work. I didn't do to much lookin' around.

Heh....funny guy.

Anyway....its a third generation SE. You are gonna love it. They are damn fast right out of the box and the steering radius is a bit tighter than previous SE's.
