Just ordered some Losi tires, asking Factory Works about their steering assembly, looks like its a better set up, so the rhino one may be up for sale after I hear back from them.



Here is the rear off set, sorry it took so long

Got some tires glued up. I have a pic of the tires in the package, but my camera died, so these pics are from my phone, so forgive the quality.

I must say that the losi tires are superbly molded, not flashing, and the letters on the sidewall are crisp, I have seen some proline tires that were not molded very well, like excessive flashing, letters not crisp-fading into the sidewall barely readable, proline are great tires don't get me wrong, but the losi quality is top notch.


I was hoping the front would be more low profile of a tire, but I think it will look ok once I am able to adjust camber.

It may be a while before I update because I just bought a new car, so gotta recover from that ( a real 1:1 car - 05 Nissan Pathfinder LE = really nice!)

Picked these up off ebay, just need some ends for them, was thinking of captured ball ends for it. Still need to get the center steering link, but will get to that next. Sorry for the slow progress, I have a lot of other projects and just bought a new 1:1 car so money is spread out lol.
