I hope this helps.

As for the green double dees, how much dust does the track get usually, or loose dirt? Does it have a groove under that layer?

Thanx!

I guess if we are weeks out, I can wait if we are months out, I can probably eat it burn em off and be ready for a new set! Any help you can help me make will be useful!! Thank you

Yes; it will be months before anything production is available. My guess is the wheels will happen first and then the tires. The cool thing is the current tires are easily converted by cutting the bead off. So essentially you can have 1 tire and run whichever wheel setup works best for your track .

I thought that the closed cell insert was different for the new wheel style...and the other brand doesn't sell them seperately so you'd have to buy their tires to get the foam.

Or am I wrong about the CC insert needing to be shaped differently because of the new wheel design?
