    Thanks man!

    I scored them off ebay for super cheap. The tires are brand new and they even came with an extra set of yellow wheels (also brand new). I scored it all for $25 shipped! These tires hook up sooo much better than the stock ones.

    Eventually I'll get black wheels and a white body to match my Taco! haha

    Solid. I've heard the stock KM2 look-a-likes are a bit too hard and don't hook up very well. Part of why I went the with the Associated instead.

    I see this in my trucks near future. I'm going to mask off the windows, headlights, and taillights and coat it with bed liner in a can.
    I like how it looks more like a monster truck. :burnrubber:

    As long as you had a picture of it I would imagine it could be converted into a scaled down window sticker also as long as it wasn't too busy. I think Sockmonkey would be the guy to talk to (I think he does his own vinyl work) or PM me and I can probably get you into contact with a guy that does vinyl for my trackbikes.

    I can't decide between the Axial SCX10 or the Wraith.

    I like the Wraith because you can crawl and bash it, while the SCX10 seems like it'd be a better rig to tinker with and just take it easy while my funds are directed elsewhere and I get back into the hobby.

    Decisions, decisions.
