exactly. rccartips your (impressive) picture shows tires needed for 23 days of running... we are not talking the usual club race where someone is running mod.

If you are going to attend TITC "Seriously" as a foreigner and spend the whole week at rcaddict, I think the incremental tire/body/spares budget in mod vs stock, while not insignificant, is not material compared to the overall expense of the whole experience (travel, accomodation, normal tire/body/spares, ...). Now, for locals, it's a different story for sure.

Again, congrats to you and Porsha as "privateers" for going for it hardcore
