Default 1/18 onroad tires

Its been a while since I've been into micros but I got my hands on a m18 to play with and am wondering where you guys are getting your foam tires I used to get Ellegi Foams on ebay but am not seeing any... GQ foams look good as well but havn't found anywhere to buy them... any help would be appreciated thanks.

Perfect thanks, I'm thinking about even running their tires on my 1/10th scale.

Xray is also now offering foams. For a very reasonable price. I have no confirmation, but they may in fact be Ellegis.

I've got to agree w/ KB on the GQ tires. They are the best I've used. CA the outer sidewalls to prevent chunking and traction roll. I use 25-30 Rears and 35 fronts on ozite.

BTW, thanks for the Alfa body, KBojar. I plan some aero tests the next few weeks!

I use xray tires. They retail for 5 bucks a pair & work great. Not being orange is a plus too .

No problem about the body...Enjoy it, I was thinking about painting it up, but decided to go with my Mazdas

Actually I use 45F and 30 or 40 rears at my local track...Its big (for micros) and open, so the speeds are crazy fast too much grip and we're traction rolling - so we need the hardest front GQ offers

nope...the mini-z ones are smaller than a micro tire...maybe 2 or 3 put together would work for what you want, but definitely not a mini-z tire...


sorry dude
