Because this is one of my hobbies and not my job I personally reuse wheels and tires to bash and new ones to race.
lol, why do people keep talking about stripping pins and breaking them. That is pretty rare unless you just dont pay attention. I agree, it is nice to have the bearing in the hub in the front. No other real gain, aside from the fact i hate popping bearings in and out. some people have a set of bearing for all of their tires... I am too cheap, lol. In the rear it allows for more rims to chose from and allows people switching from or to losi to keep their wheels and tires. There is no downside accept it costs about $15 to convert your hubs.
