Dunlop tire tread

Somehow i'd have to make this tread for the tires. Custom carving tool has to be made or some other method figured out for that.

Dunlop tires

Found a way making the tires. Material used is hi dense styrofoam. After sanding with 400 grit sandpaper the texture is spot on. It will have to be painted and for that I'm using PVA glue and water based paint mixture. PVA also protects the soft styrofoam surface from scratches.

Brembo carbon ceramic brakes

Aero-X has Brembo brakes with 380mm carbon brake discs all round. This model will

Very time consuming task to finish off the spokes one by one.
