Does any good soul know of a build article  on the T bearcat. *No real article but plenty of experience building them*

 

And are there any substitute wheels available for it? *Yes, but not many. I used the Contact Resin AM replacement wheels which GBorI, are about all you have to choose from as far as I can tell. They arent bad, but I dont think they are CRs best work ever..............but again not bad overall*

Did the Bearcat sport the same wheels as the Hellcat and Corsair?

   I see you are in Phoenix!  Palm Springs CA has a Bearcat at their museum !!  It maybe a Drive for you? But if you need Reference photos.
