Nice body, I just did an orange one myself for the gf using a gear stencil and white accents.

steve i would suggest to put duct tape down the side where it rides along the plastic guards other wise it seems to wear the paint off.

Good idea JT, I'm gonna duct tape the whole interior to protect the paint.<div>

Pretty much any buggy wheel will fit, tires all depends on what you are running on. Clay, loose dirt, hard pack groove, the choices are endless. If racing i suggest hitting the local track and talk to some of the racers they will offer up a suggestion or 2

Yes they are 17mm ;)

Any 1/8 buggy wheels will fit.

FYI, those are the tires I have:

Can you tell me where you got that front bumper. I really like how that looks.</p>

Believe that is the t bone racing front nylon bumper. I run their skid plates on my mine and love them.

Correct! T-Bone front and rear bumpers. :)
