Default A quick trip to the hobby shop
Here are some pics from my buying spree at the indy show.









I know have the parts to build my wrecker projects a Tamiya twin steer and a Smith Miller on widico axles not to mention enough parts for a good start on another day cab truck.

Wow, looks like quite an expensive trip!

I have no idea who Ric is, are the tires you got something he "stocks"?
I might be interested in a set of 6.

-whistles- That was an expensive trip for sure. Heck, you've got over $200 worth of tires, from the looks of things!

Ric is the owner of PMD. (google is your friend.)

Nice purchases Travis! You have lots of work for the fall.

It seemed like everytime I turned around Travis was coming around the corner of the pits with another arm load of parts! LOL!

Thanks again for the styrene sheets! One sheet is already pretty much gone and a 30' dump trailer is getting ready to take shape. I've got to raid the LHS for .250x.250 styrene tomorrow. I'll try to remember to take pictures this time.

Yeah, I've looked through the PMD site, but did not see those tires listed. Are they special order or something, or am I better off just ordering them from Germany?

If you are meaning the Fulda Crossforce tires, Ric should have them unless Travis got them all.

I got my last set right from AFV models in germany . At PMD you have to look under the Tamiya Section . I always found It's best to call him

Ok, yeah he has them on his site, but as said, under Tamiya and not wheels and tires.

Those that have seen his, do they have any sidewall detail?
I found these at Fechtner and they have nice detail.

thor, I believe they all come from carson , so they all should have the detail . the ones I got from both places are identical .If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will say so .

matt I think the 1's up on the carson site are a new style. thors posting ones like the 2 sets I got just the ones from AFV model came with the carson tag and the ones from PMD came without the carson tag but I think I may get a bunch of those Rc4wd haulers for now they look just like the ones I use to run on my real trucks
