The same silicone tubing I use for combat robot wheels should also work as a replacement tread for these cars. Taking a quick look through the McMaster-Carr listings and after measuring the current tires, this tubing should do the trick. The 35A tubing should make for a very grippy wheel. My intention would be to place these on the front wheels with the stock TPU wheels on the back to make the cars drift more readily. Utilizing these tires in the front and the back should create an car that has higher acceleration and handling due to the extra grip. This may prove to be to much grip though and could actually hurt the overall performance. This 50A tubing may be better for the rear wheels to allow for a some slippage to keep the handling smooth and predictable.

I plan on making a few of these so I will naturally need a few more body kits. I think a Nissan GTR and maybe a Mitsubishi Evo are in order.

Driving around in a dark room can be a pain without headlights. There are two additional channels on the receiver that could be utilized for tail and headlights to have individual control. The head lights can be linked to a toggle switch on the controller, allowing on and off control. The tail lights can be linked to an additional toggle, allowing for on and off control, but… here is where it gets cool. The taillights could be set to lower PWM value by default, something around 10-20% of full. When the throttle input is at zero or reversed the lights could be sent a higher PWM value to increase their brightness, effectively making brake lights.
