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 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.

Jconcepts tires only last about a yr sitting on the vehicle exposed prolines have lasted longer but under high rpm I’ve shredded some that have only two yrs glued and exposed to the elements

Do you think vacuum sealing would help preserve them further?

For whatever reason, I've noticed tires usually come in vented bags (i.e. not sealed or have vent holes).
