Hey Turbo, Yes although we do ask that anyone outside of the US that wins pay shipping to their location. Unfortunately we don't have the funding to cover shipping costs outside of the US.

Rims will be here early next week, I have to swap a couple stock parts for a couple late donated aftermarket parts and finish the wiring for the lights so hopefully mid to late next week.

As all the parts for this5T were donated by dozens of people and companiesit's taking a lil time for them all to get to me.

Here's another pic
The lil display stand byHodge Pride Productsin this pic is going with the car as well!!!

These rims are a new product from Lethal RC. They will be available shortly. Ijust called Lethal and will get back to you with how he wants people to contact him.
These rims are very cool only the outside and hub are aluminum the rest of the wheel is a stock HPI rim. They are extremely strong and alot lighter than full alloy rims.
Lethal Rc makes some of the best rims in the industry!!!!!
He will be making them in 5T/SC and 5B sets and will work with any beadlock tire brand that uses standard HPIrims.
