New DUB City Rims
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just wanted you all to know... I went to TRU today and found new DUB City diecasts with new rims.

CTS: ($2.99)
These nice 5-spoke rims are slightly smaller than Bit fronts. I've seen the same style rims on trucks. Those truck rims are more the size of Bit rears.

MR2 kit: ($4.99)
This kit comes with 2 sets of rims, 5-spoke w/disc brakes and 7-spoke w/disc brakes. They're about the size of Bit rears.

I think the wheels are labled wrong! Check it out. The Formula-7's are the 5-spoke. Makes more sense that the 7-spokes should be called "Formula-7". :confused:

Ooo! I have to get that MR-2 - looks just like mine - except I don't have the spoiler and decals obviously! :)

Unfortunately, no.
Traction is decent, as long as you don't have too powerful a motor and the driving surface isn't too smooth. I have been able to drift with DUB's using the right combination of motor and surface.

I guess this is a more "looks" mod than a performance mod. ;)
Here are some of my cars with DUB's.

Dude how much for the R32?
I think I just totally ruined my Bit on my first soldering job...
:( :(

Micro S2000 09-24-2003 01:06 AM

Hey DriveWRX i really like that celica. What color is that and what brand is it. I was also wondering where did you get the rims, because I have been looking for rims like those.

Micro S2000:
Is this the R34 you're talking about?
This R34 is sitting on the R32 chassis. The rear end is not lowered and the front is tab dropped two layers.

Click HERE. I worte a lowering how-to. It can be applied to just about any body.

Thanks! :D BTW, this car just won me second place (a tie actually) in the recent RC Mod.com contest! Woo Hoo!

The color is a metallic green. Custom mixed by myself. I was playing around with mixing colors. I was after a lime green but I got a mediumd green instead... Oh well, came out alright I'd say!
I used Model Master Acryl colors.

Rims are DUB City "Street Low" 1/64 die cast.
Here's the gold version...

Micro S2000 09-28-2003 01:24 AM

yeah drivewrx thats the one, i'm wondering though when you lower it if the body hits the suspension bar and if so is it that big of a deal?
