give the tires a light coat of rubber cement, or latex moldign compound.. then they are sticky like goo...

i went to target today and got one of the kits. it was $.80... it was marked as 1.98 but at the register it was eighty cents...

those look like good drift tires cause their wider, the tomy drift tires are crap...

any tires can be sticky if you prepare them correctly. i will use them as my all around tires on my truck when its done.

tires are crap
 

but sum shells are sweet.

Re: tires are crap
 

Where in the name of all that's holy did you get a "Cuda" body???? That's the shizzle

Is is sittin on a ZZ chassis? or a bit?

Notice the gears on the chassis are on the opposite side. You can get a cuda from Muscle machines, but it's diecast. I think this is one of those. The chassis looks like a semi clone chassis with the rear wheels removed.

i always wanted a cuda. i almost got a zip zap just for this cuda.
but the body is diecast. the bit rig came dual celled stock so right now it runs fine. im working on the axles, i tried the pullback wheels <-- a bit small, so im gonna put em up front and lego rear wheels will have to do. i have another cuda in a mold right now, im a noob to molding and casting, so i hope it works....if not i guess ill just have to upgrade the motor and mebee the batt. its pretty fast but those tires gotta go!

dr1zz If you're intrested, there's a guy making plastic casts of some of these bodies. His name is suntzu28, check my thread over at zip zaps forum. You can also use the MM wheels, and for some traction use spanky's tip up top in this thread.

the cuda is bad @$$ i want to make a mold of one.:)

i was at wall mart last night and they had these new cars called DUBS. there were about 5 different body styles, a esclade, suburban, van, etc. anyway they are diecast, and have kick ass wheels, crhome everything and are slightly larger than regular wheels. i didnt buy one, but they are only 2.99 so not to much for some kick ass wheels. they even have 1mm thick rubber on them so it looks like lo-pro tires...

The dub rims are hot. I have a set on one of my bits. If you do a search i think a couple of people have put up pics.

Go MOPAR.... love the cuda....

but don't like the tires on it... Too off-road looking..
You need fat, wide, slicks.
