Check it out folks! That is awesome!

The tires are the pits 571 572 tires with the crc logo on the sidewall. The same tires tamiya sells for the f1 cars with TCS on the sidewall.

yes but the greatest thing is about the wheels that allow the use of this kind of tyres on usual pan cars.

If their street pricing is any indication of actual cost, a set of wheels & tires will cost in the neighborhood of $50. Pretty expensive, in my books. Also, one would hope that the tires only have the CRC white letter logo on ONE side. I'd want to mount them with the logos on the inside, even better after the white letters were removed from the tires.

Actually $50 isn't terrible for pan car tires and wheels, I remember paying right at $18 front and $22 rear bitd for 1/10 stuff..

I guess that's too much for my budget. I bought XCeed carbon wheels & tires (already mounted/glued) for about $15 a pair, using them on my GN pan car. AMain has them for half of that, even. Under $10 a pair.

1/12 are quite a bit less

I overlooked that those were only 1/10...my bad.

Foams wear faster than rubber so take into consideration you'll be paying for new wheels less often.

This is pretty cool, and a good idea. Hopefully they come out with another color other than black. Maybe a dark grey or something.
