Got the JConcepts Landmines mounted up. I really like the tread pattern on these. You guys that are buying new wheels/tires, make sure to vent the tire or the wheel. I have used this cheapo Harbor Freight leather punch for as long as I've played with R/C cars.

I'm not a fan of the wheels. One of the little bolts sheared off and they just seem pretty janky. All the wheels might be this way though due to the scale, but I haven't seen any of the others. @JeremieBaker probably has more experience with the different SCX24 wheels.

I have those wheels in white on the red deadbolt and I have the stupid pricey raceline beadlocks on the C10. All the rest are still stocks. I'd probably just buy a set of wheel weight inserts like we did for Mr. Sixteen's Jeep next time around. Or just leave it stock. It's only money though.

Yep, I won't buy another set. Wheel weights and plastic wheels for me

It takes years of practice to not accidentally have a swig from your old used shock oil beer can.

The Gatekeeper has this perfect spot in the cage to hold the shocks to let the bubbles escape. I used to have a fancy stand that would hold them but it's long gone.

I have shared some pics of my RC with a couple buddies, one asked me what I gave for it the other called me to night and wanted to go for a ride, kinda confused me, they thought it was real size! HA!
Shared a pic with another buddy and even told him it was an RC, he texted me back with concerns, this is getting to be great fun!
