you will just need a abs pipe or a pvc pipe also get extra clutchs incase you melt the other ones.......

The thing is they get worn out really quickly even with electric, so with nitro, they probably would wear own within a run or two.

ABS (black) pipe will last a LONG time, but you won't have the speed or quite the same control as you would with the yokomo tires. ABS is also dirt cheap

becareful if you make drifter, i made some for my yokomo gr-4 and i almost over revved the engine because there was no traction at all

dont be scared to over rev, HPI motors are strong and durable they can take it trust me...

if you are gonna use rubber or hard foams:
set up a stiff suspention stiff springs, heavy shock oil, thick sway bars, hard rubber or foam compound tires and your set

for ABS or PVC:
thats all you need
