Customs is holding up the SC10 4x4.

If they'd just manufacture in the US like they USED to they wouldn't have this problem, or the month long boat ride

Not to mention the hold ups out of Japan, I have 8 days off this month as we can't get parts out of Japan....

AE doesn't have anything to do with Japan, they manufacture in China now.

So should I punch the tires? or just go with the holes in the wheels?

So far most of the internet research indicates punch the tires also the video from associated suggested to punch holes in the tires and sticker up the holes in the wheels.

I already have a leather punch so its not a problem.

Thanks

The stock body will be a show body
a second pro-line body (backordered) will be the runner as it may be better for jumps and stuff.

But I think I'll do both nicely.

I have decals and stuff coming, I'll grab some paint and stuff this weekend.

No design or firm plan yet but have some ideas
