lol those arent spinners.. they just look like them.. i was gonna buy the escalade they were selling at Toys R Us but i opened the box in the stoor and touched the rims to see if they spin, but they dont, lol i thought i was gonna get in trouble for doing that but w/e i guess no one saw me.. i was just sitting on the floor trying to rip the box open (it had tape all over the place) lol o well i found out they didnt spin.. erm.. if you go to http://www.xmodrc.com and go to the shop or the forums he is selling chub spinners.. i bid on a pair he was sellin on eBay.. they went for 37.00 :eek: .. i bid on them but i lost, im gonna buy some either way.

wait, you dont think these spin? ill make a movie of it tonight with my digital camera, and when my brother gets home ill see if he can put it online, hes got some kind of program or something to do that. the movies going to be crappy quality, digicams only have like 10 frames/second i think.

ok, i think i just got it to work.

go to
www.msnusers.com/ColinPPG and open i think its called video2, its in the photos part of it, that should be a vid of the rims in action

EDIT i dont think its going to work straight from that site because its not a picture, try copying it into windows media player or soemthing...

EDIT again- maybe its small enough to load to tinyrc itslef!


nope, just tried, trc doesnt allow uploading of windows movie files or somehting, if i figure it out, ill upload it later...

they were about 5 bucks, and the tires are decent, but as you can see, the rims with the tires dont really fit under the body :( i dont really know what they are called, i was asking the guy about replacement rims for models and he had a few packs of them.

You could shave the wheel-wells so that the wheels dont make contact with the rims.

ive been partially doing that, and partially been holding onto the antenna and just letting the wheels w/o tires spin on a peice of sandpaper, thats seeming to work pretty good

Argh. I made a mistake. I meant that shave the wheel wells so that the wheels dont rub against the wheel-wells as they spin. Thanks for finding that mistake.
