I'm going for the DB01, guessing the std tamiya tyres will do for now.
Where do you recommend purchasing the losi combo from, and how many turns brushless shoudl I start with?
Also, does the tyre glue directly to the wheel, or do you need something underneath, or am I confusing myself with regard to foam inserts?!
Thanks for your advice so far!

As peetbee says, but if you just put the tyre on the rim with the foam insert, making sure it all sits nice and squarely (ie when you spin the wheel, it runs true, the beads are snug against the rim all round etc.) then I put a hex driver or small screw driver blade in between the rim and tyre, and just the tiniest drop of superglue applied then quickly remove the blade and presto the tyre should slip back nice and snug.
I do this four to five times around both sides of the rim, its enough to secure the tyre and makes removal later that much easier.
Motor wind wise, UK stock means 27Turn brushed and 13.5Turn brushless,
Suppliers, the usual webwise good reputation ones, but check the prices from their sites and availability, also your local hobby shop and the supplier your going to buy the Tamiya from as you can get some all in one good overall prices that way.
In short its a buyers market, Haggle is the word of the game these days and always ask for a discount, its your hard earned cash your spending after all.
