Good to hear. I was wondering because of the lugs being a little tighter packed but it sounds like they'll work well.

Thanks. I wish the tire/wheel combo was staying but the wheels are so inset that they make the tires rub the knuckles and I've finally ruined this set. I have another set of tires coming though and might try them on some other wheels.

Yea, they're a tighter tread than my Proline TSL's but the compound makes up the difference and then some.

Stock rings I think, the wheels just look to be painted.

Thanks. More to come. I'm waiting for a few more things for it. I need to have it ready to go by next weekend though for the UTRCRC event.

I wanted the RC4WD one, it seems a bit nicer but this is the Dinky RC one. I got it from RPP hobby. I ordered the Dinky interior too but I don't think I can make it work

I did the same thing, the dinky kit requires that the floor board section be able to bolt to the 2 side cab holes. I cut mine all out and realized it would be a no go.

I think in order to put a floor in I am going to have to modify the shifting servo mounting and go to a micro servo. I already started looking into, I just need a few hours to do it.

I am going to cut the supplied posts down, slide the front post back and run a micro metal gear servo with a longer shifter rod. This will get the servo back under the Bruiser bench seat and will allow me to drop the floor down to the point where it will touch the top of the transmission. Still not as low as I'd like it but it should actually be spot to the amount of drop my OG clone had.

I'll watch for pictures. I need to get something figured out.

the bench seat eliminates the issue. The servo arm area is molded into the seat. I will be attaching a floor to the bottom front of the seat and then to where the dash bolts on. I hope...

Is the rc4wd bench seat different then the OG bruiser bench ? Because as of now my shifting servo horn and linkage is forward of where the end of the Bench seat is. I'll take some pics when I get out of work. I'm on 3-11 tours this week.
