Now for some tire chains!

You give up a little bit of ground clearance, though.. but oh well, but make it more scale, ha!!

This is an interesting Wild One w/ some interesting mods done to it.. that I thought would be a worthy addition to this thread.. (saw it on eBay)

The wheels / tires => paddle and Mohawks from Proline.. so those are something that you can still get.. but the others.. I doubt those will be available anywhere other than eBay..

First, the car itself:

Note the front anti-roll bar and the mounts... nicely executed.. not sure if those are home-made.. if they are, they are nicely done..

The rear anti-roll bar and the mount, again, integrated well into the rear cage, nice!

Also note the shock is now mounted on an aluminum bracket and then mounted to the swing arm.. interesting.. that's not stock either..

Wild One next to The Frog..

The two share similar rear suspension design - I wonder if the Frog hop-up CVDs would work w/ the Wild One or not.. that would be interesting to find out..

Status: online 		I will probably put electronics in it just so I can drive it around... but probably not hard enough to know how it compare to the Frog.. ha!

Will take it apart to put in the ballbearings first, though!

Might need to look for another one on eBay to make it a runner?! Ha!
