Losi Studs

Yardeeee · #1 06-04-2007

Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been done to death but I didn't see it anywhere. I've had some losi 4wd front red studs on order for about a month and half now. Each week I have been checking with the shop I've ordered them off and they tell me they are getting little to no info off Helgar about when they are likely to arrive or if they are coming at all... I was wondering, have any of you guys got your losi studs for tiverton yet? Are any of you guys waiting for some from Helgar? This is only asking those guys who have sourced them through helgar, not people who have gone direct to the USA please. Are they likely to come at all?
There isn't long to go before I need them now... looks like Tiv could be a dropped score at this rate

Cheers,
Tom Y.

also, just to add, can anyone tell me the official way of glueing them onto the front of 2wd wheels. Something about trimming the inner rim of the wheel and glueing the side wall to the wheel. Or something like that.

You only need to trim the inside edge of the outside bead, so the tyre can be pushed back, and sits flush with the edge of the rim. You don't need to do anything to the inside of the tyre.
Hope that makes sense.

Hey BRIAN, apparently my little brain storm has now become "the official way of glueing them onto the front of 2wd wheels." hehe!!

WOODY, put em on with the writing on the inside aswell, gives you an extra half mm each side
