I have had a set of these for nearly 6 months, best tools I have brought for my hobby. Just gotta keep an eye on em as they seem to walk around the pits on their own lol.

Actually since I was just mounting some new JC tires, I was thinking that some pre-mounts or molded 1/10 inserts would be VERY VERY nice... I think 1/10 buggy is the only class with out pre-mounted tires. I wonder why this is as gluing tires really sucks! Not that it is difficult I just hate it

I hate gluing tires too. That damn Losi glue (with the tube) always dries out at the top and makes it near impossible to reinsert the tube. I have to stick the top of the bottle in acetone to clean it out.

About how much do you guys think the premounted tires are worth over the wheels and tires seperate?
I am just trying to figure out what price range to charge for gluing tires. I'll set up a table at the races and glue them for racers who don't want to do it themselves.
Maybe $5.00 a pair?
Maybe if it takes off i'll bring my airbrush to the track too!!!

local track dealers
Take a note from the Mob, each track needs a dealer.
They'll have the tires (w/ or w/o holes), rims (enlarged holes), and choice of foams. Mounted signed -sealed- delivered!
A guy could easily pay all his racing fees off that! Charge $1 more for set of tires, $1 more for rims, $1 more for foam (then you can get online) and $5 to mount.
Better yet, turn em back in to reuse the rims!
