Quick question for ya: Do all old tuffs have crazed cracking over the surface? I have a 20 year plus set and if you look closely the surface is covered in light cracks? Is this becasue the wheels have been abused/left outside for long periods of time or is it just the plastic starts to break down after this length of time? :santa_undecided:

I had the exact same thing happen on a set of powell mini rats, turned out it was the chemicals they were putting down on the roads during winter to stop ice build up affected the plastic.

Thanks Peanut, well don't think its worth putting a complaint in to the council now then? As this is my second set like this, there must be more people out there with the same issue. :santa_sad:

I bent an Car alloy on a pot hole a few years ago, i wrote them some letters and they ended up paying for a new set.

Hi Currio,
I will post a pic after Christmas, as my current camera won't do them justice. New camera for Christmas with a bit of luck! :santa_cheesy:
