long time no see
I will get back to you tmro, but a couple of quick answears, wheels are ansmann or kyosho, this time of year yellow mini spikes on the front with yellow or green mini spikes if wet. or a set of balistic buggy spikes work well in anyting but dry conditions.
as for shocks, are they the rtr/kit shocks?
I would upgrade the idlers in the gear box straight away, i think AMC still has some.
