Re: installed new rims
Damn dude where do yu live that its still that nice outside!!! I read this post as we're hit with 9 degree weather with a wind chill of -15 today. I AM JEALOUS!
As far as your traction issues put some traction compound on those and they'll hook up fine on asphalt. You can even use WD40 or suntan lotion to the same effect for outdoors.
If your gonna run it on dirt you should probably use a dremel tool and cut some treads in those. If you go over to dirtoval.com, you should be able to find a tread or 40 about grooving tires that will help.

Re: installed new rims
You won't get much as it is so far from stock I am afraid. You'd be better off parting it out as people need small bits to keep what they have going.

Re: installed new rims
ya I'd say around 50 maybe. good for a runner but needs some parts to replace the rear suspension... maybe some AE shocks. how much were you trying to get for it with the Mamba Max and Lipo pack? just curious
Re: installed new rims
i have all the stock parts as well, the parts on it now are more common types that can be found in most shops today. plus the hex wheel conversion lets you have more choices insead of the skiny wheels in front.

Re: installed new rims
I'd put the AE arms and wheels back on it... most buyers are gonna want to run it on dirt... maybe throw the hex adapters in as a bonus. You'd prob get a little more for the car if it was more "AE complete". Just my opinion.
