    Thank you. I look at yours for inspiration. I have a bunch of body's that I haven't touched or finished. Ironic, this sounds like my real life. I need to finish something! Like my GTO Dragster.

    I'm trying to find some grip tires with that low of a profile (like t drifts) for regular 26mm wheels for a project I have in my head and haven't had any luck. Everything I find is either drift or a high profile like normal HPI tires. My project needs grip not slip but needs low profile tires to look right. Would you happen to know of any?

      have you checked pro-line? I remember a few years back they had some really low profile street tires ut i think they are discontinued. I have HPI advan tires that are semi low pro.

      found these on ebay


      i have these


      examples on how they would look on the rim.
      just some random pics of my beater bodies..






      all of the wheels pictured above have the HPI belted Advan street tires. they are a little narrow than the standard on road tire.

      I'll post more links as i find more info.

      • Another picture of my pandora S13 coupe before it is sold and sent to hawaii


        my mess...


        Also received my ACB 180sx ordered from ABC japan(mistake). Unfortunately, ABC japan, sells the flip lights/light buckets as a separate item unlike ABC USA, included EVERYTHING in the same package. I'll be ordering another one of these eventually once stocked again. I guess for the lights, i'll be using the yokomo 180sx light buckets but they will need to be cut/hacked to get them to my likings.

        some other projects
        ABC Hobby Nissan 180sx/240sx



        HPI AE86 Levin Coupe w/4ag engine.
        the engin mold is made by DEMIWORKS and originally came with a clear lexan engine bay. The actual bay fifnt fit the body all that great so i deceided to make my own. First attempt and not at all near done. Decided to go with a cheap body for this build since i can careless if this body gets destroyed.



        had the idea of cutting a spray can cap in half to use as the wheel wells but i might just make them out of something else.

            Thanks for the info and pictures. I might even have these already but since they are 24MM I never really thought twice about them. Have to start looking in boxes.

                        • I just found another TT-01 chassis in a rubbermaid bin in the basement that I forgot I had. I just need a knuckle and two screws and I have a rolling beater. Too bad it's the one with the non adjustable arms.

                            www.broadtechonlineshop.com will be the place for you. they have every possible hop up for the TT01 including converting to all CF chassis with midsip motor conversion, adjustable camber arms, and aluminum arms, etc.

                                I have those wheels as well! have you thought about painting the inner face behide the spokes? i painted mine black and painted the faces silver.

                                HPI LP32(32mm tire) is the same width but the HPI LP series tires/wheels are alightly bigger in diameter. They do make 32mm drift tires but it depends on brand. Check this site
