Yeah if you can get ABS pipe it is pretty simple I
have 2 router setups and all the bits to work on making my own.. But around here no one carries ABS
pipe. It no longer meets pluming codes. Was looking for the stuff a wile ago when I was making a power pipe for my supercharger on my car. Can use aluminum flex hose anymore either.

I have in 2 inch pipe and couplings in pvc.
but white would look goofy. think a set of hpi tires would be around 12 bucks for 4 tires.

I bought the pvc couplings about a month ago to make dually rims the the newcane.

i see m8 can you get this stuff its supose to be better .Polyethylene.??

That stuff I`m pretty sure would have to get from a plastic company, I don't think it would not be cheap to get. I have a feeling, I would be Better off just getting the Hpi tires.

ah hah, now Im understanding a bit better. awd so do they run rubber tires front and these slick buggers on the rear to make it controllable?
Wayne, that is one nice chassis! what is it off? when I posted earlier I was at work where all the pictures are blocked on my browser. now I see it , its awesome mate!

Its a RS4 rally. Same chassis that came on the RS4 touring cars. Just a few bits are different
I don't think anything that will really not like I'm going to go to comps with it.

The carbin fiber you can not get anymore for the chassis. you can buy sheets of it and use the chassis as a pattern. Mainly I think the front body mount is different from the touring car.
And I`m not sure if the rs4 touring chassis had the adjustability that the rally has stock. Think the rally was the last chassis design of the electric chassis.

As for tires I guess it matters on power and track surfes you are going to run on from what I can make of it. Some like plastic wheels made of ABS. Others like hard rubber. I guess track temp would matter to.

Ill get what ever tires are kinda cheaper but not junk to start with. If I use it in my driveway which is tar, It gets tacky during the day till about fall weather. My drive runs from east to west. Same as the sun, so the sun beats on it all day.

Haven't seen anyone run different tires front to back. On a 1:1 car you run smaller wheels out back wider up front.. Good thing about my car is the suspension is fully adjustable. Wish my Rustler was But I think I have an idea to get tow right on rustler.. If you look at the picture of my chassis you can see the back wheels have toe in.

I hope I can find a HPI 00 cobra R body for it that they use to make.. I have only found the 1/18th scale one
