I think the stock tires are WAYYY too big for this truck. Its not a 1.8 scale monster truck. Bigger than a savage but way smaller than a monster gt. More like 1/9th scale. The stock wheels do look mean but slightly smaller ones would perform way better.

Status: offline 		Well I just ended up locking the diff just for kicks. I did not try the 100k diff fluid yet. I cant tell my secret yet till I get video and I get the FIRST Avalanche wheelie video because no one else has been able to produce one. It is just about an impossibility to wheelie the avalanche from a dead stop on the stock setup. Yes it is extremly fast but because of teh center diff setup and not having a transmission too much of the power goes to the front wheels which in turn you lose torque and traction in the rear. The only way for a truck or truggy to wheelie with a center diff setup is to have very thick fluid or locked diff. I have locked the diff and it wheelies like crazy.

Status: offline 		bubble, lol, its a primer bulb, you squeeze it a couple of times to prime the carb before you start the engine. clermontmotorsports.com or towerhobbies has them. Not to mention brooklyn hobbies on flatlands ave.

Status: offline 		Its a primer bulb from a monster gt. Works great and helps run longer in case of a roll over. I have them on all my trucks. They were like 3.99 each.

That's a sweet setup. I like it.
