HPI hard molded wings are also a good choice for replacing stock Tamiya platic wings. There are a bunch of styles to choose from but these 2 have worked well for me.

I’d love to but life getting in the way these days. Just got back on my feet after some kidney surgury. Shooting to get back at it for feburary. Being off work for almost 2 months wasnt great for the pocket book either, gotta make it up at work.

Not sure if this had been asked but I was wondering what other options there are for USGT spoked rims. I find the Galaxy spoked rims fit too loose on the hub and are inconsistent in how true they run on the car. They are durable however and can take a lot of abuse. Is there a better rim out there that I can mount the tires too?

Tamiya has 24mm spoked rims in various designs. Speedmind has rims as well.

Otherwise, you can find a lot of cool NOS rims if you look around in hobbyshops or ebay. Proline, for example, used to make Gumbys, Wabash, and Warlocks which were great rims. Unfortunately, dish rims killed all the awesome stuff.

If any of your local TC guys used Jaco tires, ask for their worn out tires. The Jaco rims are 24mm and are tough as they come. Soak the used wheels in acetone and remount new Gravity USGT tires.

The old jaco wheels had loose hexes and most of them had a wobble to them. The new jaco wheels are good.
Some of the tamiya wheels have reinforcing ribs on three back of the spokes that can hit the arms at full lock, so keep any eye out for that.

ProtoForm Camaro I airbrushed for a local racer. Yep, he loves the Punisher! Its all Faskolor paint. I like the way it turned out but the real flames always take me a lot of time. They turned out good on this one. All graphics are paint except the grill decals.

I can vouch for the toughness of Speedmind wheels! Ive been using them when I can for a long time except when a spec pre mount tire has been required. They come in white, black, grey, yellow and even have a set of chrome/red ones brand new. I love em and they come in different spoke styles. Check RCMart or ebay.

Those look pretty solid! How do they fit on the hub compared to the Gravity RC wheels?
I also found some of the Gravity RC wheels have a wobble to them. By that I mean they don't seem to track straight. Not sure if this is from how they fit on the hub or are actually not round.
