Will the F-150 BFG tires fit on the rear wheels if the Wild one without modification?? Reason I ask, I want a more realistic tire on my W.O.. I have a pair of the Carson Modelsports treaded front tires and I really dont like the tread design or the height of their rears. I was hoping I could get a pair of the F150 tires around the stock wheels. A better looking tire IMO. Thanks!

Losi springs work just fine for the older CVA shocks. Gives you more tuning options as they have numerous rates.

He also added that green in all 4 corners works too. For Touring cars: Plaid front, Purple rear. Double pink front and rear also works well. He said that there are of course more options with the more exotic foams available, but the above is a good baseline. The use of traction compound will be allowed.

My suggestion.. If you want the best performing old school 4wd (available as a re-re) go with the Boomerangbecause the rear suspension is easier to tune. The Hotshot looks like a meaner buggy, which adds to it's appeal, I think. If you want a tough and inexpensive new 4wd, go with the DI. Very tough car from what I've experienced. Not saying HPI is not any good, but eventually you will need replacement parts....
