Is it just perspective, or are the tires kind of skinny?

I don't like the shifter either. They could have done a better job and put a boot on it.

Are those the same rims as on the charger police car in that photo above?

Wow Vette Wheels were a little over 5in wide.

Glad this thread got bumped I was looking for it to post in.

I saw one of these the other day. was not impressed at all the tires are super narrow as has been discussed and the over build quality just wasn't impressive it looked cheaper than pw for sure. The mustangs looked better built imo. I did see a charger police car and it looked like it was a better build than the camaro also.

I don't like the support for the front clip, those little plastic bars. My Dodge Charger police car has a piece of steel square tubing that runs from the firewall to the bumper for support. The tread and width of the tires look just like the tires from my Mighty Mac, just a little smaller diameter. Looks like it turns rather sharp though.

The wheels on the viper are narrower in the rear than the front. They are super narrow on the rear. And you cant swap them

I was thrown off when I saw the two white Powerwheels A type 6V connectors in it, and then I noticed the company making is called Avigo. Never heard of them before, but the gearboxes look similar to the ones in the Mach 5.
I'd say throw some 21Ts in there and let r' rip. Probably could use a Powerwheels Mustang shifter too
