"Just put as much lead in the nose as you can fit, at least 30g"
Oh man, you're so right, I've got 35g squeezed up there...
Actually, reading those two sentances together makes me feel a little ill....
On a serious note, I've got a ton of Kyosho wheels with used tyres which you're welcome to. They're all 4WD so the rears will be fine, you'll have to acetone the fronts to put proper 2WD tyres on.
They're a collection of BB Spikes, BB Pins and Schumacher Mini Spikes.... I can probably sell you at least 5 full sets without even feeling the pinch...
I would also recommend titanium turnbuckles and the Atomic Carbon shock towers...
That ZX5 of mine is still for sale, it's up on eBay now if your friend's still thinking about getting one...
