Thanks!

I haven't really used it much recently!

This was the last video I made,

I should probably get it out and use it a little more!

So, the 1/10 tyres I ordered came yesterday and today the rims arrived. I've not glued them yet, but I assembled them and stood them with what I've got so far and this is what it looks like:
Image
I think the rims are perfect. They're supposed to make the tyre wall look bigger and I think it suits the body shell perfectly. They diameter of the wheel arches is clearly just a fraction more than the tyres O/D. I'm actually really pleased with the look. Bruh, they be ballin'.

After looking underneath, it was pretty clear that some trimming needed doing to the front bumper and the unused mount on the side of the servo:
Image
I've been looking and measuring and I think that if I can somehow attach the rims to the MRS4's inner rims the track front and rear should be almost perfect for the body. I'm a little stumped as to how to do it. Anyone got any ideas?

Edit:
A couple more pictures to show what I've got.

There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Of course, why didn't I think of that. :S

Ordered an 8 tooth pinion to replace the stock 13 tooth to partially compensate for the increase in wheel size.

So er...

Scottie is a really bad influence and I have a Losi 1/18 mini rock crawler on its way.

It's a nearly new second hand one so I need to grab a few bits before I start playing.

Photos on arrival.
