Yeah, nice work! I would like to see an overall photo of the car. Do you have any problems turning or rubbing with those wide wheels?

I used regular testors paint that i had left over, and it took a lot of coats, maybe 8 coats or more, in pictures the car looks nice, but in person it has a lot of paint bumps. LOL this angle was the best angle, all other pictures are really bad.
Also the tires aren't modded to use while running, but thes are twice as thick as the stock ones, would be great for the rear but for the front, it would be really bad for turning.

From my 1/25th scale Ford Mustang "REVELL" model, I have found that the tires that are included fit on my XMOD very well. They have great traction!

BC on your cars, you said you used primer, now did you also have to take off the original paint before you painted on them? If so what can you use to take it off?

No, I didn't even sand. All I do is wash them in warm water (not hot) and a little dish soap. Make sure to rinse all soap off. Then I let it air dry.
Try not to touch the body as much as possible after that, oils from your skin can cause problems. I usually stick mine over a cup bottom with double sided tape to hold it on.
Then I just spray the primer right over the paint, about 2-3 coats, then the color, anywhere from 5-8 coats depending on the color, and finally 2-3 gloss. Don't touch it for a while after that. With Tamiya paint, I can handle it after about 6 hours.
