If you’re a lakers fan it’s the best color combo ever lmao. Even if I were going to run them I wouldn’t mix purple and gold. But seeing as they’ve only done a few sets I think these will stay in the package a while if they stick around with me. Well, that’s a wrap WoF.. it’s been real haha

Round 5 showed up.

Orange 310s
Grey Skarns
Blue Omni IFRs
And clear 475 hubs

Orange isn’t my color but I like the rings. May have to try to sell or trade for some machetes



Here’s an assembled picture. Much better assembled than I expected.

Though I like a challenge, and I do have my unpainted body; the question is how to use gold and make it look good (to me)... tricky. The obvious choice (The US Army's Golden Knights) could be cool, but I'd rather do something a little more colorful (and higher visibilty).

It'll be tough resisting the temptation to just paint over the gold with a candy red (giving me a candy apple red).

I like them! I too received a set of gold wheels and am debating what to put them on. The gold will look good with most colors. The US Army Golden Knights would be a cool idea!

You got the pot of gold alright!! Nice win for sure! Looks like luck is on your side and you probably should play some sort of lottery soon before that luck wears off!

Nice set! I like 'em! I bet I can guess who put that set together!

L.A. Lakers, Utah Jazz, Minnesota Vikings... I'm sure there are others whose fans I'm offending deeply by not mentioning.

Denver Broncos...

I'm reasonably sure somebody had a palette of NFL/NBA, and probably MLB major colors at this point.

Purple and gold always remind me of mardi-gras. Add some green hardware and you're set to wheel around the old quarter.

Oh, well I would have lost that bet!

The orange 310's with the blue IFR's do look great put together!

[high plains drifter]

fwiw I think those purple wheels w/ gold rings would look sick on a white or purple rig with some graphics/ decals in white, purple, black, or gold... whatever combination of those colors.

Well, no plan survives implementation...

I do everything with my 6yo son, and he's more opinionated than that uncle that won't shut up at Thanksgiving. He was totally fine with the Gold, Black & Gold as we mounted them... then when we finished, he took a good look, and noped the frak out. "Black Wheels!" (The original unglued Traxxas wheels) was his demand.

When I told him we weren't switching back to the Traxxas wheels, he... did not take it well. In fact, you would be forgiven for thinking somebody had just spooled up an XF-84 Thunderscreech. Kid's got some pipes!

Now, normally, this is the point where it's a learning moment - normal parent tantrum stuff... well, my 'lil bud is autistic, and a lot of 'normal parent' things work a bit differently...

So, black magic marker solved the immediate problem before things got out of hand...



And it'll come off easily enough with some Isopropyl or Ethyl alcohol, so I can re-introduce it to him later, and hopefully he'll feel less overwhelmed next time.

That’s a reasonable compromise… much better option than putting the stock wheels back on

I think the black marker gives it a pretty cool a unique look.

And I agree, that was a perfect compromise.

I cannot picture an uglier set of wheels...

$400 offers keep rolling in for the wheels... I sold them last night for significantly less than that with the rings and hubs... sorry Indy!
