hit the dollar store and get a couple boxes of tintex fabric dye and change that wing yourself. I am liking those tires too

Thanks for the comments guys.
I ran it for about 7 minutes before realizing 1) the brakes came apart, and 2) my steering servo burned out.
In that short time, I liked driving it a lot more without monster tires. I'm kinda burnt out on monster trucks right now. The only thing I don't like, and it isn't the tires fault, is the width of the vehicle. I wish it had a wider stance.
From the short driving time, they seemed to grip really well on grass (but what doesn't aside from slicks?). That's where most of my running is. Hopefully this weekend I can take it out to an area with more dirt. The steering was more responsive due to the fact that I had no large tires on there. That was a plus for sure. I'm glad the Baja tires fit on my vehicles (Rampage MT and the Firehammer MT). Great to have so many options with wheels and tires.
Here's a front view:

Just an FYI, I'll be selling my Firehammer MT here in the next few days in the Market Place.
I'll be parting it out (alloy pieces will be separated and sold, front end will be sold separately, as well as the rear, roll cage, chassis, FHMT tires/rims, extra parts, etc), so I thought I'd give you all you Firehammer/clone guys on the forum a heads up.
I won't be selling servos, receiver, FG Beetle body, or engine though.
