Super excited, just so everyone knows I will be providing track side hobby shop services
I currently carry VBC, ORCA, Motiv RC, Hobbywing, Protoform, 3 Racing, as well as products from hobby authority
I will have an order for sweep tires going in soon so we will have enough to cover the first few races and the big chill.
you can also visit my website listed in my signature to find out what I have in stock

Hi guys, I have 15 sets of gravity Rc usgt tires coming in some time this week for the scale spec class. If you would still like to use hpi d compound tires Rc pit stop and go go hobbies stock them, if you want x pattern tires you may have to ask them to order some in.
If everyone wants usgt tires please let me know so I can get more coming, they will be around $35 cad per set. Thanks
