 Nice looking paintjob nonetheless! Anyway, what tires are those? Do you also have (narrower) front tires? Looks much better than the Proline Dirt Hawgs to start with, and has the 'right' diameter it seems.

It looks a little better with a couople of stickers ill get a pic later.
The tires are the Swedish VBC slicks, they come in a pack fronts and rears but the supplied foams are terrible. Heaps of grip on carpet no need for addative so far, thinking that they would prob work well on a gym floor as well.

Here's some more pics of my lid and installation. The Orion R10 and VST 8.5 is fitted. Kept the wires long in case om rear motor config.
GHEA thumb screws. The tires are "Swedish Edition VBC" and imho the best slicks so far. Perfect for carpet.     For some reason a lot of people are saying they used to run these colours when they first started out back in the days. Is this some kind of "retro lid"

just wondering: Do you think the tires would be suitable for outdoor use (Tarmac)? I'd love to have some grippy (but not too grippy) slick tires for one of my buggies!

No traction additive needed, they are *really* sticky. (i have a FWD set on a 410) By comparison, the Panther T790 (?) slicks are like driving round with grease smeared all over your tyres (so additive is needed).
Don't think they will be available in the UK, they are a specific "Swedish VBC" compound, its even embossed onto the sidewall of the tyre. Give onekiwi a shout, or order from Sweden/Scandinavia, postage should only be a few quid. I'll probably be getting another set for the 2wd at some point........

Ive just ordered a set of these for my 511, worth a try, especially at Saundersfoot's tarmac track.
Got mine from here - http://www.evolutionracing.se/produc...oducts_id=3517 Paid by paypal and they only cost £15.98 for front and rear with foam inserts delivered. Bargain.

That is a good price delivered
Be aware that you probably won't want the supplied foams

Before you all order I spoke to the guy at evolution racing and its NOT 12 SEK to send it to the UK
He said he was out of the office just now but will fix the shipping price as it will cost a little more that £1.20 in shipping. He will do that tomorrow so hold off a little.

Sorry this is off-subject, maybe a mod can move this tyre discussion into a new thread.
Thanks for the tip on the foams, what do you guys run instead of the supplied ones?

Im running core RC in both it makes the 2wd fronts pretty hard as they are not trimmed at all
Rear, as the foams are thin there seems to be a little air pocket between the tire and the foam, maybe a little larger foam to fill out the tire would be better in some situations Core RC fronts and Proline in the rear is another way

Find myself reading these threads, mainly to look at different people's takes on mounting electronics, and checking out different paint schemes (the good, the bad, and the ugly)
 - but it always baffles me when someone goes with a single color and posts multiple pics,  as what are others to say "um, yeah, mate, that there is, um, white"
