Mal.au Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 The rims are machined aluminum from a company called Pro Trac. I don't have a web site for them but you can find everything on Ebay under Slot car accessories. Here is a link to one of the better dealers that sells a lot of cool wheels. http://stores.ebay.com/Fast-Eddies-World-o...5QQftidZ2QQtZkm They are not as expensive as one might think. A set of fronts usually runs about $11 or $12 dollars and the rears are about $19 to $20. The beadlocks average around $6 bucks and come in different colors such as gold and anodized red. Hey Wayne I have been looking at the ebay store and I am just wondering are all the wheels around 1/24th scale or do they vary, to quote the size from one set of wheels 1 1/16 x .300 wide, I understand the 1 1/16th but I am unsure about the .300 wide, can you explain to this metric system educated Aussie Thanks Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

envious8420 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 how you gonna start a big build off, get a bunch of people building and then quit???????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) That is crappy, most of these guys spent their hard earned money to build their cars for this build off, and you are quitting with less than a month left? If you start something finish it. I am glad I am glad I don't go into a lot of detail, or I would be pissed.

1320wayne Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'm glad that someone corrected this and posted the true end date of June 25th. The 7th is out of the question to be complete but the 25th just may be reachable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
