Probably won't make the show circuit...barely fit in the Element sideways. I would need a chase vehicle or trailer to make that happen.
Wheels, well for now painting is the plan. I know that they will rub off so I will deal with that for the moment. I plan on posing the question to ModifiedPowerWheels.com to see if anyone knows of a black wheel with the same center indention. There is a hub cap that mimics the original Dune's wheels and I want to be able to reuse that.
I'll be using paint from the Krylon Fusion line since they are built to bond to plastic. They have a bright yellow called Sunbeam that should work fine. Probably won't be able to pull off the chrome bumpers - they will probably end up being Satin Pewter Gray.
Modifying the drive train will have to come in a year or two after Aiden has mastered the 12v beast. I believe the original owners didn't know that there was a second gear so I think it has only been run in first gear - he said that it was pretty fast in that setting so it might take a while for us to want to beef it up.
