HobbyTown. They are not geared for the hardcore racer hence the angst portrayed above...


But for the basher and the hobby enthusiast Hobbytown is it. Its a gateway drug if you will. I bought my first RC there and have since moved on to the racing side of things. They cannot cater to a small demographic and hold there doors open.


Hobbytown +1

lol... would still like some insights on tires, looking at aka grid irons, aka i-beams , aka crossbraces, hot bodies mega bites (had a guy that races alot rave about them), jconcepts subcultures and the hybrids.

any input would be great, i will probably buy a couple of sets and try them myself next week.

personally i have had the best luck with enduros.

Taco - I'm going to assume you mean premounts, not rtr
Subcultures, Impacts, Revolvers, Calibers, and Enduros are all being used with good luck on 1/8 buggies with good luck. Whatever you get, see if you can get them priced competitively.
