Yes. I have one here I was getting ready to play around with. I'll probably forego the slicks. I'm leaning towards Joe D's RC tires for it

Very cool. I'd imagine you have the newer issue so I don't know what slicks come with it but on the Barnabus version, it had those really big MH Racemasters that I like a whole lot! The RC tires will look pretty killer on it though.

I've got the reissue version and the rear slicks are pretty big ... if I remember, I can post a photo of them online later on today after I get home from work. The reissue has Barnabas too, even tho all references to "Dark Shadows" were taken out from the reissue (except the instructions, where the figure is still called Barnabas).
There should be a Quentin Werewolf Wagon to go with it!

Here are the tires that come in the Vampire Van reissue. The two-piece slicks have Goodyear on them, while the front tires don't have a word.  |

Those slicks look to be like the same slicks that originally were on the L'il Gasser, L'il Mixer, L'il Yeller, and L'il Cashbox!!! I have all four original issue kits to compare with your picture. If that's so, then it's possible for someone who does castings of slicks to get a set of these slicks from the re-issue Vampire Van.

Actually there are 2 sizes in those tires Steve and the ones that came with the original issues of the LiL series were the larger ones. Those ones in the picture look to be the smaller ones. A.J.

The larger slicks are 1-1/2" Diameter and the next size down in the same slick is 1-1/4" Diameter. I shouldn't have said that the larger ones came in all the LiL Series kits, I should have said that they are in all of my LiL Series kits. My question is really, which ones are the ones in the Vampire Van. There was a disscussion quite some time ago on the old Rally about the tires in question and the conclusion if I remember correctly was that the larger ones haven't been in any kits for a long time. I think somebody even mentioned more recently that the larger ones were finally going to be part of the newest LiL reissues that were to be coming out soon. So I just didn't think that the ones in the Vampire Van were the larger ones. I may be wrong as I don't have the reissue of the Vampire Van. Let me know if you would, I'd appreciate it. A.J. If you say so A. J. They sure look the same to me. |

Just measured the slicks from the Vampire Van, and they're 1-1/4" diameter.
