I've heard good things about the tires, they are wide and aggressive. What's wrong with the wheels (other than the chrome peeling away, nothing some black rit dye won't fix)? They look brittle to me, but, our track's jumps aren't super big, will they break easily? Anyway, started it up in the garage yesterday morning after work, just because. This thing sounds like a freakin' 250cc dirt bike! I've been hangin out at the track alot this year, and I have yet to hear anything like it. Going out later to temp and tune.... I think I have a drag race set up with a guy from work with a stock monster gt 4.6, I'm hoping bigger engine + lighter truck + 3 speed tranny = a faster straight line truck, maybe? Time will tell.
