After you fit up them new wheels & rims, everything will come into proportion. Most of the available 1/8 scale bodies can look good with this set-up. Personally, I think the SC truck tires look dorky on these cars.Losi no longer makes the Slider, so parts are gettin harder to find. We run a pretty strong Slider class at Victory, so we're gonna be affected by it sooner or later I guess.

You can go with the Stalker SCLM body, I believe it is 3/4" narrower.

Guess I need a better speedo LOL
When I started running the class I was told 13.5 and boost was legal. I know 2 people that are boosted.

Making it a blinky class is no problem Chuck. Bring it up next Thursday. I will set Buddy's ESC back to blinky. Dont tell him, I'm not

Called Victory but the tires were sold. My friend who is using a Losi xxxsc with 12 mm hex kit was wondering about wheels...specifically RPM revolvers. Wld these work? Thinking the ones made for Slash with Hex drives

Progress with the Slider tires and RPM revolver wheels. Waiting on the wrap yet, and to install the spoiler.

Thanks! Justin from IGIMAGE is doing the wrap, pretty excited to get it. The body actually was alot easier than I thought it would be to fit. So far aside from the wheels/tires and the body...its still a sc10. I dismantled the front bumper, and mounted the bumber base plate upside down, using the existing 2 counter sunk holes. I then trimmed a bumper out of thin lexan and mounted that to the base plate. I ran it as a truck this weekend, and it took 5 minutes to convert back. Any suggestions on a 13.5 motor/esc setup?

Im using a Tekin Redline Gen2, & a Novak GTB. Works fine. That front bumper should work. All you really need is something to hold the nose of the body up. I used an RPM bumper for the T4, & bent the front portion of it level. I then cut a foam bumper to mount on top to hold the body up enuf to keep it from hittin the track. Light weight & effective. I've seen your wrap guys work.Gonna look sharp, I'm sure.
