Cheers! This is nothing compared to the detail of those over at quarterscalelegends! check out there website and you'll see what I mean, some amazing work and detail on their cars! Mine looks so basic and child like in comparison lol

[coopdog]

i think yours looks much better than any of thos!!

[olds_kool_lews]

Much appreciated! They do spend BIG on there cars though, talking thousands! this shouldn't cost much more than £100 to build.... bargain! Lol

Got my new rear wheels this morning, compared to the small old 1s these look like monster truck wheels lol but they should fit the bill perfectly, and provide lots of grip so the engine doesn't just spin the wheels and shread the tyres. Will get pics up later to show the size difference! Means I need new front wheels to suit it or it's gonna look like a drag car lol

this is looking awesome!

i agree though i had a look at the aston build on guarterscaleledgends and they are big money builds!!!

more fun building on a budget though!

Got the pics yet ;)

[olds_kool_lews]

of course! here you go for all those who are following this build ;)

old small wheel vs new bigger wheel...









these bigger wheels suit the look much better, but means im gonna have to make 1/4 scale arches ;)

[olds_kool_lews]

sorry for the blurry pics lol

[Alex_B]

Cor! Chunkyyyyy! Love the look of those wheels

[olds_kool_lews]

plenty of grip! means the engine wont just shred the tyres and will actually give the car forward momentum lol

[jackmason]

They look brilliant, it all seems to scale now. The others did seem abit small. Like you said, just need to find the front ones now.

You should get some printed using the 3d printing company HERE

They charged someone £65 for the set of wheels for there RC car, although urs would be bigger, you could make some custom ones!

[redhot-mini]

will you be putting mini hinges on 4 the doors etc ? :) and loving the work

[olds_kool_lews]

Yeah the doors n bonnet will be opening, but the rear tailgate wont, more for strength than anything, stop the back end flexing when I'm givin it some welly lol
