I'll remeber to do that. Im trying to contact the peole at that website, and figure out what the differences between Class C,D,E, and T are. I also need to know whether they ship to the US, and i hope they dont only sell pipe in 6M lengths. If they do im sure the shiping is gonna be astronomical. And theres now way im gon a need all that pipe. With 6M of pipe i can make 113 tires!! Ill probably cut it in half, and sell it on ebay to some other Rc drifter who cant find Abs pipe anywhere.

which one of those will help me out? I also have a felling that they dont really deal with customers, but sell massive amounts of piping for construction ect.

GOD DAMIT!!! i gt a reply from the guys over at pipestock, and they have exactly what i need, but they only ship to the UK! You guys keep telling me to order form indivdual people who sell abs tires, already on the wheels. Theres no way im doing this, unless its on an actual website, not a person to person transaction. But where are all those guys getting their ABS pipe! Ive looked, ande if any product is used this much, its gotta be for sale on thw web.

How hard is it honestly to pick up the phone and try a few places in your area? There are still some things that the web cant help you with you know. I sat on my butt for 3 weeks *****ing and moaning that I couldnt find ABS anywhere, then the first place I drove to here in Perth had it in stock and it cost me like $3 a meter.

Woo Hoo thank soo much c9VEV. I found the one and only place in my area that might have the pipe. It may be like an hour, and a half drive, but hey its worth it. Im wondering if i were to go, and i dont really wanna ever have to go there again. whats a reasnoble amount of ABS o buy. I have no idea how long these tires last.

Thats alrite mate, if you got 3 metres that would see you at least 25 sets of tires, unless you gonna be driftin 24/7 that should last you about 6 months even if you wore out a set a week which I dont reckon you would. Enjoy your road trip man

If you don't want to go very far look here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/12-R-C-DRIFTING-...QQcmdZViewItem
I am NOT selling or know anything about this site, I only found it if anyone still needs these.
The tires last a LONG time.

Well, nikko is hobby quality, so you probably cant take the wheels off. If you wanna drift get yourself a basic hobby level car. the most popular is the Tamiya TT-01.
