If tires, what size? Can you link me to an example?
If wheels, I believe the Losi SC truck ones fit, correct?

Thanks.
If your running it in front of your house the stock tires will be perfect. If your racing at a track, the best thing to do is find out what tire everyone else is using. The stock rims work fine. I ran DE racing SCTe rims with some HB beams are they were super stuck to the track...you gotta know what you need first before you get it .

Wow that's thick! I'm running 50k & 5k, 25wt all around...my truck is a little too planted for me at my track so I'm going to go down in front fluid to get it to rotate a little more...maybe try 30k.

Exact same thing happened to me, every place I've checked has them on backorder too. Let me know if you ever found someplace to order them!

I didn't find the cartridge in stock anywhere yet, unfortunately.
I have, however, rebuilt the shocks removing the lower x-ring of the cartridge on all 4 shocks. While doing this I have pretty much come to the conclusion that the bottom cap of the cartridge is only there to hold the bottom x-ring in place, so I've just re-assembled the 'broken' one and there seems to be no leakage. It's still not very smooth so I'll be replacing the cartridge when they are available, but at least it'll let me run the local 'big race' that starts tomorrow.

I don't know how many people will be there for this one, but I'll try to give the SC10 4x4 a good showing

thanks for all the guys that replayed. I had to go back and fwd with my building as I was missing the bag 11, and one of my shocks came with the shock cartridge seal cap splinted so it leaks and and doesn't hold the o'ring...... AE have it in back order..... Almost buying another set of shocks from other brand, any input on this?????????

Put the SC10 on the scale tonight, not as light as I thought.

Your losi is showing 6.11. is it full of carbon or lightened chassis and etc?
The AE truck is just as light as AE originally said it was. 6lbs

I realize that this dictates the type of tire but I would love it if you could link me to the tires you bought so I know Im getting the right size

Thanks

Size is 2.2/3.0 i think any tire that dictates SC fits. but the tread type also depends on your track surface.

here is an example:

Tires: http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=386
wheels: http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=469
