DO losi/associated rims fit the a-one?
Spares? are there any to speak of?
Shocks, it seems like there is some trouble, whats the go?
Fit of parts etc and slipper/diffs, whats the tricks ?
The biggest Q of all, should we wait until they iron out a lot of probs before purchasing one? I kind of expect a skewed answer here but be as honest as you can, if you can. If anyone wants to PM me feel free, as I would like to get one or a couple but live absolutely nowhere near europe so spares and probs are an issue.

Hi there,
Losi rims definitely fit, not sure about associated.
Think spares are fine now, in the UK theraceplace stock them (do you guys ship abroad?) but also the Aero website webshop is now open too, so maybe email them and see what shipping to your country is like?
In terms of tricks etc, only ones I know of are on this forum, but others may enlighten you better! Kevin Lee is going well with the car ( making A finals in the UK nationals) so I'd check out his setups/suggestions on here!
As for the "big" question, from my experience I'd say it depends how much "tweaking" your happy doing on a car. Compared to, say, the Tamiya 501x, I built that from kit and have never even changed the setup, and it just works quite well everywhere. Thats not true if you do the same with the Aero, however if you make the shock mods, do the little construction tweaks like filing the rear gearbox cover to get the shocktower to fit, and maybe follow Kevin Lees setup suggestions (weight in the rear, short wheelbase etc) then I'd guess its already a very good car, and those adjustments are much less than needed on some other kits to make them work!
PS I think the reason for the slow responses from everyone is that we've all been at the latest UK national!
