Default Newbie questions

Hey folks great site!
I am looking at buying a Red Cat Vortex (the electric one) can a person change the tires on them?
I mean are there aftermarket ones available other than the ones that come stock on them?
Where would I get the best deal for one with everything included and ready to go?
What other stuff is available on the aftermarket for them?
I look forward to hearing from all you experianced Red Cat oweners!
Thanks in advance!

Brushed or Brushless ? Yes the wheels and tires are standard sizes and can be changed. Both come with charger and battery. Just charge and go.

Ya any rim with a 12mm hex will work, and you wanna stay close to the same outer tire diameter or you will have to change your gear ratio.

The only thing is then you gotta change the gear ratio becuase they are bigger. Or just keep an eye on the temps cause it might overheat the motor.
