Wheels mounted on the Rtr rig. They fit the build good.
The scale hardware on the ring is a nice touch. But, i wasn’t about to screw and tighten them all in with the supplied tool. Attached the locked up scale hardware tool via scotch tape to my 2.0 min driver for my gyro dewalt driver lol. Way faster and less of a pain.

Wheels/ tires put on both rigs. Swapped servo on Rtr to the nsdrc and the kit one got the stock one for now.
Now I’ve got to swap the gears in the Rtr rig for the overdrive ones. And it’s back to parts shopping for them both lol

Time to race them! The scale hardware definitely makes any wheel pop. Nice choice!
I know what you mean about USPS. I've had multiple packages just sit at depots, just hours away, for days. I've also had packages shipped from the Harrisburg depot to the Philly location and then back and forth a couple of times before being delivered. That's what you get when the government and the union are involved...
Oh it drives me nuts! Just bounces around at the hubs and if you’re lucky they will deliver it a week after it was supposed to be there. Our old driver was great though, our new one, not so much. Throws (literally, have them on our cameras) packages on the porch, which you have to toss over a rail to do it lol.
Well I made a mistake.
Not realizing the Rtr diff spools/ gears are one piece, unlike the kit versions that the ring gear bolts to the spool.
So, I did what any sane person would do who wants to drive one of the rigs, semi built. I robbed the diffs out of the kit version, installed the underdrive gears in the rear and just swapped 3rd members in the front.
Now the kit has the Rtr gears and the Rtr has underdrive gears.
Annnnnd the Rtr shock on the front is leaking like crazy! We’re just gonna mark that one as “rust prevention”
Nah, I’ll just grab some new shocks. Kinda wanted some anyway

Only 1 out of 3 is pretty good!
The wheel and tire choice on the sparco rig look really good

With all things considered, yes lol. Now, I’m contemplating just rebuilding this one. Been searching for shocks and there is just none that stick out I like.
Thanks! It’s hard to pick wheels/ tires online but these ones turned out perfect for it.
