not too many"good" deals on ebay for bowties cause everyone gets top dollar cause they are the popular choice. you could probably score a set of revo rims/tires pretty cheaply though.

Take a look at the Team Losi ZombieMaxx tires.

I've got them on mine and theyre the best tires all around tires I've used, and the tread pattern is sweet to boot.

Yeah they're pretty pricey, mine were like $65 for the whole set. They're worth it though.
