The fronts on the blue car are 652's and the rears are 6596's.

These Schumacher 2.2 tires, front and rear, are currently in stock at Amain. I'll volunteer to purchase these if they're what y'all would like to go with....?

Or the T652's in lieu of the U6595's for the front?

I think those pair up real nice and definitely lend themselves very well to the time period this car invokes.

I’m down with it for sure. Very cool of you.
Besides only sending out wheels, I get to hang on to more of my stash

Let’s get some opinions everyone please.

What time period are you placing this buggy in?

This car is SWEET! Someone is gonna be very happy to add this car to their livery. I wish I had something to donate. I hope this is an ongoing thing. The community build is an awesome idea!

While the car has several modern elements, I'd place the overall theme in the late 80's. I'd definitely say that its pre-Team Car.

You'd want 2.0" rear and 2.1" front wheels and tires then?

Those Schumacher tires are also still available in 2.0"

It’s got a 50/50 OIN vibe, I believe that the 2.2 wheels with the old school giant spikes pretty much have got that look nailed down.
It’s definitely got the OG custom RC10 mojo rockin…
Although I may feel this way more then some others because I have an RC10 with a CC chassis with the same style old Schumacher tires on white proline wheels.

Very well placed, I agree.

Gotta love those full spike tires.

Annnnd yes on a 4wd chassis they definitely do what full spikes on 4 corners should but they can be just as ominous on a tricked out hopped up 2wd like this one

Liking Jame's work on the tranny.

What's Joe got planned for the paint scheme?. Will we see some fluorescent colours on there?

Have any wheels or tires been sent to James yet?

Looks like we have finalized what we are doing, in a day I will be sending out the wheels to him. I’ll do expedited shipping.
R6cowboy is ordering the front and rear Schumacher tires and will have them shipped straight to James.
