Hey guys. I am a 13 yr old kid and don't have to much money. I need to pick up some new tires, manly for snow. I plan on getting Sandpaws(14.00), and two sets of Dirt Hawgs(15.00 each) and then I have to pick up[ rims for them all. I also stripped out the diff gear and tog gear. Any idea wear I can get this stuff for not much money?? I dont need the Sand paws but would lioke them. I am planning on spending around 50 dollors if I have to maybe 60-65, no higher. I would like to spenf\d A LOT less because of my fam's b-day and Christmas, so PLEASE help

you should find everything you need here and alot cheaper than a local hobby shop since your on a budget.

hey dude. fellow 13 year old rustler runner here. i have been waiting for parts from tower hobbies for 3 months. and when i finally got the part, it was the wrong one!!!!! so i finally got to the hobby shop saturday, and got my diff, and they cut my comm, and i came home. had a ok run sunday, and a crappy run today (i ran 2 1500s into it, and i couldnt get my mesh right so i kept stripping my spur gear,) and just 10 ****** minutes ago, i drove it right into a water filled ditch. dont mess with water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or snow!!!!!! it will mess u up totally!!!!!!! i just lost a trinity matched 2400 pack, and a tq receiver, a trinity speed gems 2 garnet motor, and a novak fusion esc. its not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im getting out of this hobby i am gettin so ticked off.

I dont think it wise to ride in snow since snow is water and water and electronics do not mix. I would check Omnimodels for your parts. Omnimodels is a little cheaper than TowerHobbies due to the lower S&H price. Their site is www.omnimodels.com (http://www.omnimodels.com) Check it out our you can call them directly. You should also get a slipper clutch so you wont strip any more gears if you dont already have one. Also while your at it you might aas well get the hop up gears, y'know the machined ones. For more info on this look at the back of your manual
