Speaking of which, I understand there is a correlation between the axle to axle distance and the weight carrying capacity. And of the three manufacturers of roller bearing trucks, AM, SHS, and Ace, Ace has the greatest wheelbase and thus would be best for the heaviest cars. There are numbers to substantiate this which I don't have at hand. I also note the car is marked 36 in wheels, another indication that it's a heavy car. And I'm betting this car will really come with 36 inch wheels, unlike those of a certain other manufacturer, some of whose cars, though marked 36 inch wheels, come with 33 inch wheels.
