1) what tires + wheels are those? -and do you like them? -do they balloon up on hard acceleration? (assuming your using a 17t or faster motor).
2) what did you do to get some discoloration on your exhaust (looks like it has realistic discoloration as if it were real).
thx mate

1) those are standard 1/10 52mm Kawada wheels with 3mm offset. Tyres are HPI X patterns. THey shouldnt ballon up if they are belted as most on road tyres are. 1/10 wheels are too big to run with these bodies. only good for looks.

2) I use Tamiya weathering kit 87088. Its design for use as exhaust discolourations.
