Looking for Sand Tires
I Custom built a rc10 tube based sand buggy and finally completed it... the biggest biggest biggest problem ive been having is finding buggy tires... I am looking for the rears similiar to what i have no in the attachment, basically a Sand paddle 2.2" Buggy Size..
I know these manufacturers make paddle tires, for TRUCKS, but does ANYONE know of a place or car that has a 2.2" paddle tire appropriate for a buggy?
Panther Makes paddles for a truck
Proline makes a staggered paddle and solid paddle for trucks
HPI makes a aggresive paddle for a truck
The tires on the car right now are TMS tires (from the 80's/early 90's), they were later bought by duratrax who produced them for a very short time before they got bought out by hobbico/great planes?
I contact duratrax looking for old stock, which they said they are long gone, and i offered to buy the molds but they said they arent for sale.
Honestly i dont guy why manufacturers havent made "fun" tires for a long time.. everything is race based... Even looking for a "large knobby" tire is almost impossible to find for a buggy.
Anyway if anyone knows of a place/source for these, please let me know as i would like to find a few sets for other buggies i am working on!
thanks!
