One thing I know for sure about this hobby, is you can always find a Pit guy! So many people at any track always willing to help a brother out. Everyone can't run the same class, so there's always people free

If anyone cares to see what a Crime Fighters/ Bow Ties setup looks like on a buggy, I was bored and took some pics of my new tires and rims..

LOL, my cell phone camera doesn't work good, and my POS old 3.2mp camera doesn't do much better... I really need a new camera, maybe something that's not 5 years old lol..

I think we are OK without the pics. Thanks for giving it a go though, I'm gonna bet the rear tires look like Bowties, and the front look like Crimefighters. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what's being discussed, but you never know! We all like to see pics, Nice ride by the way! I love Ofna products

i used this combo at our last trophy race did better than i usually do our track is loam based and it started out packed but as the day progressed it got tore up did seem to matter to the tire combo will be using it again! i tried crims/boas and it slid everywhere of course the boas were a little bit worn so that might have been the issue!!

I'm hearing lots of positive feedback about the new AKA tires. People seem to like em even better, I don't remember off hand the combo that they are using, but so far I read that everyone that has tried them say they hook up even better than the Bowfighters, and also that the Inserts are much better, and supposedly last forever! (Inserts, not tyres) I think I may have to give them a try. I have also heard that because of the everlasting materials that the inserts are made of, people actually remove them when the tires are shot, and re-use the inserts on a new set. That's pretty cool, not having to throw away your tires every time the inserts turn to dust! That alone would make them invaluable, as in my case, the inserts usually get shot, long before the tire

Thanks, I was hoping the pic would show the differences between the treads..
Hopefully I will make it to the track Sunday to test 'er out if I get her broken in.. Though with school it doesn't look like I'll have time before exams..

Yes, the new AKA's are amazing! The best combo I think is the CityBeam. City Blocks up front and I beams in the back. Works great!
