Well when im get mine im probably gonna use the Nitro shoes foams i have for my Nitro RS4, If thiose things can last as long as they do with a high powered nitro on-road. Then they should last a long time with the F1.

That's not a bad idea... those rims use 12mm hex? Also, are they 1/10th scale size tires?

Hope they have wide ones for the rear of the F-1! (the F-1 has the staggered setup.. rear = wider)!

Foam's last MUCH longer than rubbers, also have more grip.

The thing with Foam's is sometimes the foam "chunks" and a bit comes off.

WOW most places sell them on the web for 15-20 dollars a pair, but RC mart sels them for only 7.50 a pair. As long as the shipping isnt rediculus then RC mart is probably the way to go. Nitro SAhoes are made by JACO

Also just so you know where on Rc mart instead of saying "38 shore" they say "38 DEG." but there talking about the same thing.

Thanks! I use rcMart a lot, so I will make sure that I look into that the next time!

In the mean time, I will be using the reinforced Tamiya type B compound.. they should last awhile too!!

(unless I put my BL motor in it, ha ha!)

They are not too bad.. I use them enough that I e-mail them directly and get good deals... I don't use their website / ebay..

(insider connection.. :P) Of course, I can always just have my friend buy them and get those from him when I see him this Sept.

I wish I had connections! Whn you figure your paying a $5 non refundable fee, $5 for insurance, then the shipping fee and the cost of the items, it can get expensive.

Yeah, if that's the case it is not a great deal..

Business is 2 ways, man.. you be nice to them, and they will be nice to you... !

They made a mistake on one of my order, I said, no problem.. I will place an even bigger order.. they cut me a good deal, re-send the stuff that they didn't send the first time for free, I get to keep the one that's wrong color (but perfectly functional), and we bypass the website / e-Bay.. so no commission lost to eBay.. they passed on the saving to me..

Think of it for me... I have no choice buy buying over sea's! A parcel from the US to my place is like $50USD!

But RCmart is really good shipping wise to Australia.
