You get these at walmart.
That's cool I like it, how do the little ones do with the 2.2s? The only think that has kept me from getting one has been the little tires and low axle clearance.

RE: Just finshed my Nylint 1:18 mod
Thanks. The modded one is 1000% better then the stock one. Your right stock they have no flex or ground clearance. This mode is pretty easy to do. All you need is the tubes and bigger tires. Everything else on mine is stock. Some people change the electronics to a receiver and speed controller and a real servo for steering. I may do that in time but I am happy with the way it is now. They are really fun if you have the right place to drive them.

These are the tires I bought them on ebay. They were really really hard. I soaked them in simple green and rubbing alchol. Then cut some treads off them and they are not to bad now. I think they are off an old black hawk truck.

Well you will need the tires of course that is the most costley part. The tube I used is 1/2 aluminum. Send me a self address stamped envelope and I can send you the tubes cut like I used them. You will need expoy too. I use the stock shocks and just moved them to a different location.

I actually drove one of the Nylint's yesterday while I was in California visiting. For $48, it provided a lot of fun. By the way, I drove it without the body on it.

the center of the rim comes off. Take pliers and turn it and it will come off. then you will see the screw or nut to remove the wheel.

Epxoy is 2 part glue you mix together and it hardens.
