The only rims that fit the tires are the vintage rims as far as I'm aware

See the rules at the front of this thread. Assuming that they will be amended to cover the new tires and wheels.

My newest VTA livery, narrowed it down to 2 for a name for this scheme, let's take a vote
#1. 'Merica-Bird of kickass freedom and fire
#2. Faded Glory Hole
Or maybe even
#3. Titty Bars 'n' Stars
Vote, it's your patriotic duty to vote and then shame others that did not.

Number Three , ( But I think it should only be run on a Chassis that formerly ran a Orange Dodge Charger)

The new tires will fit the HPI rims and Protoform will be offering their own in the near future.

Default Ceramic Bearings

Do full ceramic bearings in a VTA car really make a difference?

How about putting them in a 25.5 motor?

I've got people here doing this and they seem to be .3 a lap faster. But that could also be due to the fact that people who would spend that kind of money are already pretty fast.

I'm thinking of banning it.
