I'll have to see how my friends are at getting action shots...or pulling stills from movies. My TC3 spends a ton of time on less than all of it's wheels.

I can't quite tell if the left front tire of the yellow truck is on the ground or not...if it is...that would be 4 tires on the ground.

Cool pic!

Tough to tell if the left front is touching. But you're right, thats 4. (between the 2 trucks)

The rules don't say anything about adding grounded tires up across several vehicles. Each truck in that picture has airborne wheels, so it's kosher.

this is not a set up or a wall ride. its the result of a roll over.
i call it "hiking a tire". cause it looks like its peeing on the fence

Sorry guys...I was trying to be funny...I was not trying to suggest that the picture didn't meet the rules. It's a cool pic...and a good action shot.

Here are a couple photos I took at a dirt oval bullring...two stock trucks going for the same spot.







Same track...Dan's T3 lifting the right front tire as he powers out of the corner...I always thought that dirt oval cars lifted the left front?!?!?

Here's my Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin stretched to 1/11 scale so the "Wheely King" body. The shot was taken at a skate park.
