I've been gone for about a month, and now you, GTmike400 have 200,000 posts. How in the world did you manage that?

Thanks! I was wondering where you disappeared to.

About the post count, dont ask, its a long story.

I had finals and stuff, it was so hectic I just didn't have time to get on the computer long enough to post here, and if I did get on, I was doing homework.

But now it's summer vacation, I'll be posting a lot more, and hopefully, I'll get a few more kits done.

Well this project may be coming to an end.

I am going nuts, and I am very stressed out. I can not find wheels and tires the right sizes I am looking for. I will find the right size wheel but no tire, and vis-a-versa.

If I cant find wheels and tires this project will be scrapped.

Haha. I dont know what to do. I am going nuts. I have invested several hundred hours into this project, not to mention a lot of money. At first tires and wheels were no problem, but now I have decided I need 17" rims in the front otherwise the design just doesnt look right.

Right now Im trying to get in contact with Chris as to how he makes his tires. If I can have scratchbuilt tires then I can have scratchbuilt front rims and this wont be a problem. So please Chris, help me!

Don't give up, have you tried searching for wheels/tires from an RC catalog. The Tower Hobbies website might have something.

Good luck!

Thats all I have been doing is searching for RC stuff. I may have found something that might work with modification.

Now my problem is figuring out how high off the ground a normal pro-ride chassis rides. My model frame that I assembled sits a scale one foot (30cm) off the ground. IMO that is way to damn high, I want it sitting a a scale 1"-4" off the ground.
