Seems that hardly a month goes by without Team Atlas releasing yet another super-cool 'vintage' shell for M chassis..
Check out this version of the awesome Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo.

Question regarding rims for the M03. How is everybody's experience with the rims from Cross and/or 3 Racing? I see that they are priced per 8 pcs at a price similar to other manufacturers rims for 4 pcs, or even 2 pcs in some cases. Is this a "you get what you pay for" thing? I'm looking to run my M03 on a carpet track and figure on doing a little experimentation with tires so saving a little on rims until I get that "magic" set-up down is a nice thing.

Old Tech,
I have not experienced any problems with the Cross rims or tyres. However for carpet I have used the Tamiya M Grips, kit tyres or S grips. The HPI M tyres work also on the front but have a smaller diameter.
For asphelt the Cross tyres and rims work very well on the rear of the car. I do not use the foam insert, but replace this with a spice 5.5mm insert.
Regards,
Calvin.
