    Just dye the wheels. Easier than painting. But only if they are nylon.

    That was my first choice but the tires are already glued on and not sure how that would affect them. Decided to just leave them white and maybe replace them with black another time.
    I put white decals on a black wing and it looks pretty good with the white wheels..

    It shouldn't do anything to the tires.
    Do what looks good to you. Yellow and white does look good though.:thumbsup:

    Has anyone ever seen an stl or other 3D model for a pre-facelift 2nd gen trd sport doublecab shortbed? Lots of x runners and access cab sports, but I can't seem to find any that match my truck. I'd like to print a body out to make a mini-me, but the best I can find now would be a regular double cab and then graft the skewp from another model on there. These are the two I'd plan on mixing, but please let me know if you guys are aware of either one model that matches what I'm looking for, or higher quality versions of these before I buy some models.

    Fair enough, Tamiya was my first RC kit so they’ll always have a soft spot for me. I preordered this in February so I’m really excited to get my hands on one.

    Braiding the gap between RC and Tacoma.

    I posed a picture of this power supply once before but I've since added the 12v cigarette lighter output. Everything on the left is an input and the left is an output. There is a 500w AC to DC power supply under it.

    I replaced the alligator clips on the compressor with an xt60 and added a xt60 source under the arm rest. It's been fantastic for charging batteries and running the air compressor.

    Its a kit so it will be worth the purchase. It’s just a weird setup to me, I feel like it should be 4wd. Maybe its the rat rod tires.. and the chrome wheels.. maybe I’ll pick one up.

    Ok, I have to ask. Is there a scale model strip club going on in your center console or something!?

    Basically my junk drawer. I can't remember the last time I actually used cash for something.

    Fiancee gets paid in cash (skating instructor). Every three months I pull a stack of 20s from the cash bag in the safe and transfer it to savings at my local branch, and I have never felt shadier. Every time.

    If it were a bunch of 1s, they would think you or here were a stripper.

    Ended up getting one of these monsters a while back. Only done a could test runs, but with 2, 4S batteries it hauls ass. Spinning tires on pavement while adjust doing any 20mph. I will say the decals are horribly put on and a couple led lights were already out in the light bar. If I didn't end up getting such a deal on it I'd be more upset about the poor workmanship.

    Got the 18 scale SCT in yesterday. I’m excited for it. The older electronics are definitely funky, but it’ll be good enough in the short term.

    You'll love it. It's no speed demon, but perfectly reasonable for having some fun. And when the questionable electronics do go, you can always double the speed haha.

    I also suggest keeping an eye out for the rock racer version. It came with larger tires which really helped gear it for speed
