description  I picked up these Phoenix wheels very cheap and had some tires from another purchase. The tires have a forward facing claw-like knobs and are very soft, I've never seen them before. I removed the stock shocks and installed Equalizers.

It's a great chassis, I think I've rebuilt 6 of them. There's just nothing better than the feeling and song of chain drive!

Believe it or not, I have never seen one of these buggies before! I was so intrigied I have just downloaded a build manual to have a look at the frame, intriguing stuff. Great model, it got me thinking it would be nice to build a shaft driven 2012 version of this... hmmmm

Wow...those tires look like tiger claws! Very aggressive stance and I love that the fronts are the same width as the rear (ala the Avante). Nice rim/tire combo.
