I used the Monster truck wheels for the traction. I first tried the stadium wheels and the torque was just wasted - you could see the wheels just spinning on the ground. The Monster truck wheels (Big foot) are much better at traction but dont do that well at high speed. I also think that the rubber is a bit old from sitting around and they have become kind of flat where they have been lying flat on the floor while the truck stood still. It may be worthwhile putting stiffer inserts or getting new wheels

It is icy cold - sub 0 temperatures here in the UK - I dont think I am going to go out for a spin int he next few days.
