Well if I bought those items separately it would cost more.
And I am pretty sure I opted for a catalogue but I have not seen it yet.

Don't worry it will show up just before you get the item and one in with the item and then about every 30 minutes after that like a J.C. Whitney catalog.

[Slick2500]

This one doesn't look to bad, it's $20 more that the MGT, but it comes with tools, a glow plug ignitor, and a fill bottle.

Man I would love to have beadlocks I can't tell you how many times I've had the tire just come off the rim. The tires ballon so much it's like having an extra gear. Even with really low pro tires. I got adapters so I could run 1/8 scale foam on road tires.

[Slick2500]

Yeah I thought that was pretty cool as well. Makes it look like an actual truck.

I just rewatched the vid he wasn't running the 1/5 gas buggy like I thought it was. It was a Thunder Tiger ST1 he ran with. Either way its pretty quick.

back in the day the hobby shop i went to had a track on the roof, but my truck was a off road truck, so i put small wheels and tires on it, spacers inside the shocks to hold it down low, a 5/8 th socket zip tied to the front bumper to keep the nose down, swapped the clutch bell gear for a larger one and a smaller spur gear, and watch out. it was pretty quick.

oh, to the point of all this. it handled like a brick, so i had to power slide it through the turns, the tires used to come off all the time, so super glue worked like a damn charm!

Its almost industry standard to super glue your tires when you first open the box

Thats a given. Doesn't matter at any speed over 60.

I put 2 lbs of lead and couldn't keep from pulling a wheelie.

Or buy an Axial RTR that comes with them

[Scottydoggs]

with the large tires it came with they never came off. so ripping tires off was all new to me. it was also a cement track. not dirt.

funny part was when the town tried to say they cant have all these people up here cause its a weight hazard, lol the guys like look around here a bit will ya? see all these parking spots painted out. this is my roof top parking converted. that fight was over right there. hobby store won.

if i can park 30 cars here why cant i have 50 people up here and a stand for the drivers?

If your running a 4wd, street tires will pop off of those rims.... I've tried them, they are only 2.2" and most on road are 3.8" so your not slinging so much rubber.
