I ordered some stuff from them on the first and had the parts on the eleventh, not too shabby. Here a few pics...

The slicks need some cleanup, but they are cast in black hard resin with a separate whitewall.

I also bought two other styles of distributors and will take pics and post them a little later. All in all, I'll order from them again but I doubt I'll order more tires. I like soft rubber/vinyl molded tires lol.

I won't use these on every build, but it's nice to not have to drill 8 holes in a kit distributor every once in awhile lol.

I never have any luck drilling the kit distributor,so what I do is cut a small piece of 1/8 tube then I ca glue a shaft on the bottom,then I glue all the wires in the tube,this is a lot easier then drilling the kit distributor I think.put I do like to use a nice detailed distributor like these once in awhile

I've been using heat shrink tubing instead of distributors on most of my engines. I put superglue in a cut piece of heat shrink, add the wires quick (ready and taped together first) then heat before the glue dries too much and it holds the shape of the wires. Once its set and cold I put a pin with the top removed down the middle for mounting it
