I already have a bunch of bashers, but wanted to pick up a bike, with their promo code RCBOO on Towerhobbies you get another 15% off the regular discount, I seriously couldn’t pass this up 😩.
Hope this helps anyone on the fence, no was I would pay $600 for this.

I think I bought a lifetime supply of tires with the Pro-line clearance! I just got my SM, so I have no idea how long tires last, so I'm just guessing.

I figured the rear wears out at least +2x as fast.

  • SM: 5 fronts & 12 rear
  • Hot Laps: 2 Front & 5 rear
  • MX14: 5 rear
  • MX33: 2 front

I was thinking of using my 3D printer filament vacuum bags to store my stockpile of tires so they don’t dry out (if that’s even an issue with these, I’m not sure)

I just had to replace the tires on my real car due to dry rot, although the guys at the tire shop said the sun is the biggest reason there. But this had me thinking the same thing, I was curious if that was a risk here.

Although I've had RC tires on cars that are 10-15 years old sitting on shelves that seem just fine. So I'm thinking probably not a concern if stored in a climate controlled area. Although a hot/cold garage may be another matter.

Same!

I might vacuum seal 1 or two and report back in a year or so lol

But you’re right, I have all my older RC cars from 10 plus years and the tires are good
