Getting close to complete. Rim swap from a MicroZ XR-1 Racer.. :)

Body lowered, pinion/transfer/axle swap from MicroZ XR-1 Racer (better torque), using 45mhz booster chassis. Turns on a dime and accelerates decently.

Here's a model of the Daishin Skyline GT-R from the Taikyu (?) N1 race series.. I got the white rims because those are closest to the 6-spoke Ray's that they run.

Removed all windows. The trick to keeping the body sturdy is to keep the B pillar intact (the one between the front driver/passenger window and the rear quarter windows).

If you leave those intact, the roof won't collapse unless you push on it really hard.

They're the same size as normal Bit Char-G rims, but my car is lowered so they are tucked. They do not rub because I shave the wheel wells ('rolling' the fenders :D) so that they won't rub.

Yeah, click on your driver's side door, get in the car. Double-click on the ignition, right-click on the gas pedal and drive to Walgreens. ;)

I bought the car as a package in a store, I do not have a link to just the wheels. I took the wheels off the car and transplanted them to my Skyline.

I guess they don't have Walgreens in LA.


Those rims also come on the Smartland XR7 Infrared (IR) Cars. That XR1 must be the rc version of the Smartlands.

The wheels look good on that car!

how did you "roll the fenders) I've heard of scrapping the bottom off but did you enlarge the fenders It looks great and I need that for my lowered gloria It is touching the ground almost so thers about a mm of rub on the front so shaving wont do it
