1/8 scale foam tire tips.

Quote

Post by dreambmx » Sun Aug 16, 2009 10:03 pm

I have an RC 300. Since I couldn't find any 1/8th scale tires, I found that 1/10 scale truck foam donuts work for the rears and 1/10 scale rear pan car foams work for the fronts. True, they don't wear real well but they sure do hook up well.

Also is there anybody currently making 1/8 scale nascar bodies?

Thanks, Mike
