hi, Warren. I saw your thread. I'm pretty sure I can replace my ugly dub wheels with something more traditional. will hit the hobby store sometime soon. Regarding regular diecast, i'm not too sure how to do that. Buy a 'cheap' car (even a dodge or something) from which you like the wheels, and trade them out! Make sure they are both 1:18 or 1:24 or whatever so the size matches. I have three Cobra's with 'hallibrand style' wheels with spinners. They are fairly cheap quality, but 'work'. I think one of them is pretty rough, played with. I could take a look and see if they could come off pretty easily and send them to you.
Let me take a look.
My RC toy is great fun!
Terrible head on collision, tho', last night. Trey (brother) was doing great big looping circles, and misjudged just a bit.....
oh nooooo!!!!!!!!! He smashed head on into a fence pole. Yup, a metal pole. in the 500.
It knocked the black bumper loose, cracked the front fascia, and rattled the headlights. I believe the airbags were deployed, and if it wasn't for the fact that I INSIST on everyone wearing seatbelts, I am SURE the occupants would have been ejected from the vehicle, right thru the windshield!!!!
so.... I was glad he was the one that crashed it, since he just found and bought it the day before! If i had wrecked it, then hell to pay!!!
There were 'two' at toys r us, might go get the other one for after we get 'good' at driving. Use the wrecked 500 for practice. Much more careful with the Cobra, as it was more money. anyway, ebay has a 65 or 66 red convertible mustang rc, but the interior is red also. darn. I'm a looking!!!!
Anyway, is the silver diecast you bought 1:18?? The knockoff's on the Cobra are black centers with the spinners, not quite accurate for my car, but better than those ugly dub wheels.
let me know!
