OK, a little tampo removal as well. But both cars look great! I can't believe I am liking these cars, but the more racing style cars, and the new tires have won me over!
I thought the tires looked better on each others ride. Hope you like them. :wave:

Hey, awesome swap. The low profiles look great on the RR. BTW...
How do you do a tire swap without breaking the axle? Do you break the plate on the chassis to free the axles? I've always wanted to try but ending up bending the axles, I'm too chicken to tear up the chassis.

Jada & Maisto cars are easy ... unscrew the chassis from the body , pull tires off rims , pull rims off chassis . They have much heavier axles than JL , hot wheels or matchbox ... The rims are pushed on the axles, much like old 1/24 model kits used to be ....
Ive swapped a few of the ugly black wheels for nice chrome ones myself !

Thanks I'll give it a shot. But i have trouble with pulling the rims off the chassis. Are you talking about taking off the axle and rims together or using strenght and yanking off one of the wheels by force?

:thumbsup: The tire swap looks great. I hope we see alot more of those "Big Meats" in the future. I love these Jadas, but I don't think I will ever get used to those rubber band tires.
