Losi, Night Crawler, 1/10 scale. The owner of the Hobby Shop that I bought it from, uses this in competition with adjustments to the stock suspension? But what do I know?

Buying RC crawler tires is worse than buying sxs tires

Is that because they are cheaper and you can afford more options? Asking for a friend.

@Adam490 internet is being stupid slow and I can’t quote you... but only if you’re putting them on a 1/10 KRX!!

None of the Japanese companies will license their stuff. Only RC is Can-Am and Polaris.

Options. They are also pretty damn pricey.

The SCX24 tires are only like $4 a piece. Rims can be pricier but most seem to opt for the RC4WD stamped steel bead locks that are around $25 for all four.

Oh yeah, for sure. I've got the RC4WD stamped wheels. I think I have a few sets of tires still in the package too for the little guy. There's a hobby shop in MS not far from me that does the comp crawler stuff, so I'm going to build out this Gatekeeper to check that out.

That's awesome. I have a few planes I need to finish putting together. My dad was really big into planes in the late 80's.
