    I like the tires and wheels. Aggressive tread pattern!

    Do they have some sort of stabilizer like the Losi dirt bike flywheel?

    No , I am the stabilizer. That will keep it interesting.

    I don't expect this to be quite as easy as the Losi with the flywheel and gyro. Losi almost made it too easy.

    Sure thing.
    With the snow we have around here and some wicked cold it might be a while.

    Back on the Kyosho Optima re-release buggy. I mounted the rest of the electronics, motor and pinion gear and soldered the battery plug on the ESC today. Tomorrow I'll solder the motor wires on then test / adjust. Painting is all that will be left after that.
