It was so much more fun being a newb when you had to build your first crawler from a TLT. I had a blast figuring out 4 link geometry, break over angles, ground clearance and COG, what bodies worked and all that stuff... The newbs these days got it easy! But I would not trade that experience for any RTR crawler.

Welcome to the sickness that is RC Crawling and Nice shiny Losi ya got there!

I'd say run the Losi and learn it's characteristics before dropping coin on a new set of beadies...the stock rollers will serve you well for now

Try a small dab of silicone like Shoo Goo on each screw, that should help keep them in place. Some guys use this trick with Delrin beadlocks, so it should work with the plastic Losi wheels.

If your hell bent on new wheels though, you'll find a wealth of nice-nice in the Vendors Market...

Cool, so make sure you stay on point with your info and read all that you can here on the forum

You'll find everything you'll need to know, but remember to experiment for yourself and don't be afraid to try new things with your set up.

Have fun dude!
