Wow, thanks for the pics. I am absolutely _shocked_ at how much smaller the 8475 rims and wheels are. I thought they were maybe 2/3 to 3/4 the size of the 8466/8458 equivalents. I was totally fooled -- they are barely half the size. Impressive that the new motors can actually drive the 8466 stock wheels/tires and all (as one poster has proven). They must be very powerful. Thanks again for the pics.
