I am utterly amazed when ever you show one of your creations, Chris.

As the guy says on one of those cooking shows "OH YEAH, BABE!". That's downright "perty".
Is the 36D rewound or stock?

Jairus,
That is just so cool!
A "Dynamic Jaildoor"!
I love the super skinny wires feeding that big humongous 36D motor!
Today we run almost 'welding wire' to a motor that almost draws and amp under load. Back then we ran such small wire to a motor that could suck the lifeblood out of a set of batteries! And to think we all used nothing but resistor controllers to make them run!
A big thumbs up

The tires and wheels really complete this car. What brand are they and where can they be purchased?

Wheels are Russkit re-pops from Electric Dreams.
Inserts BWA
Front tires are model car tires that fit tight... and then trued.
Rear tires are NOS Dynamic right out of the package.
