Thanks. I had those Velocitys with Big Joes about a year ago in my E-Maxx and they've been in storage for this whole year. Chrome from the wheels was in bad shape so I "washed" them in 80°C (176F) for 4 hours which removed chrome and old glue nicely.
The Losi Aftershock wheels & tires give the real Monster Truck-look



Managed to do the first drive today and I'm quite pleased with the results.
Cheapo motor works allright, might even gear up a bit and change the shift point to later.
Temps measured were better than I expected, motor was 59°C (138F), esc & lipos (emptied two 4S 4000mAh packs) were hardly lukewarm.
