You can order the JC Racing 5-spokes in black, white and yellow....can't you?

I only thought of it after I ordered the wheels

Have also ordered some 5 spoke JC Racing wheels, may consider dying a set black to see how that will look on my "pink & white" worlds

Hey a quick question, is that a chassis skin/protector on the original chassis, and have you put one on the new chassis?

Yes RJ, will it "debut" this weekend, I'll be down for a look, maybe with my own Worlds car. depends on the weather I guess, bit of precipitation forecast for this week/end

Looks brilliant, Top work

Good info to know, cheers

Yep, awesome job on this

Here you can see why I ordered the white wheels, as the yellows just don't work

Got it stripped down and ordered the parts it needed to be rebuilt, will get that all done and get a new body for it, drop in a Novak 10.5 combo I've got and then think about what to do with it

Ok, it's all good, I managed to source some AE's ones in white anyway, so it doesn't matter now anyway, cheers

This has probably been asked on the forum before but I struggled to find anything, but are these thunder tiger wheels the same as on the Worlds Car, but obvoiusly in white?

I agree totally Jason, Optima for the win

Awesome, now for some photos with the body on the chassis
