Its what I do to white wheels. I absolutely hate white wheels and the untasteful yellow/green ones.

Theyre the red your most likely looking for, they are darker then they look in the pic.

Status: offline 		what you could do is buy 2 sets of proline velocity rims for the XXXnt and get some die of which ever colour u want then u can die them. IF u want a deeper colour leave the wheels in the die for longer if u want lighter colours leave the wheels in for a shorter time that way u get a strong wheel and the colours u want. Just my 2 cents

BTW the proline velocity wheels are really durable i have taken them through many hard hits and no cracks yet very strong.

or if u like chrome wheels u can get htese http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/products/wheels/truck/clawz.htm

Status: offline 		they do add weight but i like to stick with nylon cause if u break the nylon parts it is cheap to replace but if u break the aluminium it is gonna cost you alot.

BTW i had another idea with the wheels if u rig up a contraption where the wheels only just hit the die then you can hang the tip of the rim in red die and then turn the wheel around and put them in the black die only up to the red die marking so they are not touching the die there u have a red lip.might be a bit hard though

Status: offline 		dont let me change your decision if u want aluminium A arms u should get them. I was just saying that i like to stick with nylon parts cause it is cheaper for me cause i bash hard and i am only 16 with not alot of money. The stock springs should be fine if my mind serves me correct the losi shocks have a screw collar adjustor on the shock jsut change that when u want to use it for different uses. Maybe you should get used to driving the losi and getting used to it before upgrading it that way when u break stuff u can upgrade it with upgrades when it breakes. I have a nitro evader and broke it a fair bit while learning to drive it. Jsut my 2 cents

BTW this is just my opinion in no way am i trying to influence your decision you should do what u want to do . CHEERS
