Hey rich you have any updates on "The HULK" :P .... aka your Volcano!?!?
Also i was out bidded on those HPI wheelie kings a while back and have been looking for some more but have had no luck. The LHS wants to charge me 90$ or so for a set of 4!
Anyhow if anyone knows where i can get some preglued sweet looking rims & tires for my 12mm hex Volcano. Preferably on ebay, that would be GREAT!
Just give me a shout or PM.

Thanks,

Baine$

Hey guys,

was out today runnin' my truck and must have hit a snowbank too hard. I broke the steering (#02025).

Is there an aluminum upgrade for this part? Or do I have to order the plastic part? This is the first part I've

broke.
