You could of put a rock up there and it would of improved the look !! LMAO Just kidding , I like the new look . how much wider is that wheel ? it looks a bit wider . I think black would be cool but orange would be good too!

hey guys.... thanks for the comments... ( except for FLYNBYU...LOL )
Yes it is a bit wider as well so...i had to make wider triple clamps to accomadate the wider wheel.....I also have to get the correct bearings for it.... it takes metric bearings & axle so....... i put the closest american sized bearings in it for now...but will be getting the correct bearings & getting a metric axle for it...
the wheel is a Kyosho 1/8th scale.... and there are a bunch of aftermarket choices too....( GPM has some nice colored Alloy rims for those bikes )
I dont know if I'll be able to offer it with my rolling chassis but...I can always offer the triple clamps for it and forks..... and guys could get thier own wheel....
Thanks Guys,
Robb

FLYNBYU...
it is NOT an O-Ring....it is a rubber tire and gets mounted just like an off road truck tire would ( CA Glue ?..)... & I think it requires an inner foam donut.... I am still checking it out.....
the tire & Wheel are both for the Kyosho HOR 1/8 scale Motorcycle
