Will our old wheels work with the 3.0? Just wondering since it comes with a new wheel.

A receiver should be mounted with foam tape to the inside of a receiver box in an electric vehicle. We made enough room to fit the larger receivers and a transponder inside. That is why its larger like that. There is an option to use the indoor tray which is just like the one from the SCTE with no box.

Just like on its nitro brethren, the wheels work if you clip the inside of the front ribbing to clear with the extra throw. You will want to ultimately switch over to the newer wheel so you don't have to do this.

Ok thanks. How much needs to be trimmed?

On a side note, is this going to be the "official" 3.0 thread?

Well, I think it would be better to start an official thread, just haven't and don't have time to get to it right now, lol. You are going to have to place them on the vehicle and look inside to see where they rub and cut accordingly. Some side cutters works well and it doesn't take long.

LOL... im sure a 2.0 body will fit with alot of slop on the sides. but if you buy a new kit (when it comes out) you get a shiny new body to paint.


I hope it comes out soon, I will love to upgrade mine when parts become available. Congradulations TLR yet another Killer kit. I can sell my nitro chassy to the gassers.

I bet the New 1/10 Scale 4x4 will look just like this.
TLR please have new parts available right away.... thanks!

Yea, wait until that wallet opens again to buy the parts that actually benefit the E guys and tell me how well that ice is working

I mean, it's gonna cost a pretty penny to convert it "AGAIN". This isnt a few small changes.. This is a chassis, servo mount/tray, battery tray, shock towers, center diff mount. If i had to guess, id say around another $300 if not more.
