1.7 and 1.5 scale tire rant!

Post by Frogwagon »

Ok now that Tamiya is putting out these re-re's, why isn't there a company out there making scale or performance racing tires in 1.7 and 1.5's? There is a market out there for them so why not do it? Yeah i know you can cut 1.9's down and make scale tires but thats only good for shelf queens and low speed crawlers, as far as runners they just come apart. Ive been trying to make a scale Baja bug that looks like a VW bug i use to own which is a runner but without the right tires, it wont work!

If I had the money I would get the rights to the old Troll name and start an R/C tire business. Actually, is there anyone out there with the capitol who wants to go into business with me? :mrgreen:
