Hey guys,

Since I got into RC a couple of months ago, the one thing that has really hit me is the cost of tires and wheels. It really freaked me out when I had to replace my first set of Holeshots on my RC10T4. Now that I'm into 1/8 buggies, it has gotten worse, since you really skin all four tires. From what I've seen, it can cost you $60 or more to replace a set of "good" tires, and it's amazing how quickly you can wear those tires out when bashing on combinations of grass to asphalt to concrete.

Anyway, I've been searching for inexpensive tires and wheels to make playing around less painful in the wallet.

I got a couple of sets of the Supra Sales tires/wheels and they look OK, although I haven't run them yet. They are on the hard side and I don't know that I'd race 'em, but for bashing, they should be fine.

Does anyone else have any good sources?
