If you've seen my wanted list you'd know what tires I'm after for this car. :wink:

The rims I'm using are for old Dominators/SRP and the fronts are almost as wide as the rears (31mm & 35mm) so I need low profile 1.6 rear tires in the front and tall 1.6 rear tires in the rear. Not as hard as it sounds...if I find tall enough rears I can always use modern low profile F1 tires for the fronts.

As for the body I don't think the modern McAllister bodies for CW and Losi sprints will be wide enough or long enough for my sprinter and I'm not interested in buying bodies to find out what fits through trial and error. I'd need something like the old McAllister Gambler and Silver Bullet bodies but really I'm holding out until the body on Kaiser's sprinter pops up for sale.


Eventually I'll get the body and tires I want to finish this car. It's just about being patient. 8)

That is a really sharp looking build. I think the silver chassis looks cool. Something different.

has some bodies that might fit

looks good
Gary was a very probable source for these BITD- he's cheap and easy to.work with too. I can promise a CW shell won't work, but i'd be glad to photo one and give you measurements though
