I think the will be available late-April. They should change camber angles and from what I've read are far more stable on high speed tracks.

Default Losi's offroad tire gluing kit

Hey guys I got an offroad tire gluing kit from Losi because the preglued tires that came with the RTR were starting to come off. I haven't used it yet because there is a plastic thing sort of like a wick taped to the bottle. Could you please tell me what to do with that. Thanks

Sinew like a glue bottle to me. Cut 2 inches off f the plastic wick and stick it n the tip of the glue bottle. That's the applicator. Just jus small drops of glue and then press and hold the tire after glueing. You also need a set of mounting bands or rubber bands to put over the tires after glued to hold them while the glue completly dries.

Removing the front sway bar will provide more chassis roll and weight transfer when cornering. You will gain a bit of steering, but loose stability in high speed corners and switch-backs where you need to go right to left quickly. It can also cause traction rolls because of the weight transfer. Unless you really need a bit more steering and have tried everything else, I would leave the bar on. There may be other reasons to remove it, but the above is the one I have heard/experienced.
