How long does assembly usually take?

Build time varies, but expect several evenings for a careful assembly including trims, electronics fitting and setup checks.

Can I use modern LiPo packs with this chassis?

Yes, with a suitable tray and connector you can fit LiPo batteries; check balance leads and mounting clearance before finalising the install.

What tyres work well out of the box?

Stock tyres suit hard-packed to medium-loose dirt; swapping to softer compounds helps on looser surfaces and improves traction in wet conditions.
