Finialy I found a set of new org optima tires. Wow, I'm not sure if I should even take them out of package or hide them in a safety deposit box, lol. I have never been one for keeping items in packages, but I am having trouble opening the package.

THanks,

Coelacanth: The tire width is 1.625 in the rear and 1.5 in the front. The tire is stretched a little bit in the rear. Changed out the shocks for reds, side guards and front bumper. http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx67/iballhog/d0b37f73.jpg http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx67/iballhog/f4d94594...

Coelacanth: I can give the width of the tires, later tonight. yes they are 2.2" tires. I went nuts trying to find tires. So many tires out there and not all of them have dimensions usually they are just listed by application/vehicle not size. Here's the note Lohas gave me in regards to the tire...

Really nice work. What type of tires do you have on the rear, I want a set.

Thanks,

Sweet, Those look good. I like the tires too. Looks like they mount using the stock kyosho adapters. Mine has some really nice adapters to run the LRP rims, I may just try and add tires.

Well a Blue Optima just arrived in the mail, Thanks Jeff. It looks as good as the pictures I have been drooling over.

I plan on finishing this blue boy off. Anyone have any suggests? What type of tires, motor, etc?

For the body, I'm thinking a box art optima.
