Mostly standard with a few small tweaks. I never liked the wide front wheels, so I modified them as shown which in my opinion is how the original should have been produced. Other mods include metal hub carriers front and rear, plus home made ball-raced steering with low profile servo (Standard servo just rubs on the under tray) Painted in gun metal.

Absolutely marvellous. I agree with you about the narrow front wheels. Looks loads better. Did you just cut off the outer back edge of the rim? Or did you take it out of the middle and glue the two halves back together?

Thanks a lot! Yes, I cut them In half and removed material from the middle. Luckily I have access to a lathe which makes the job much more accurate. I also machined and inserted a sleeve over the two halves, which helped when gluing the two halves together. It’s strong enough to run like this.
