Tires for your 1/16th scale ZD Racing RC trucks and buggies

Well This post was inspired by a person who asked me a question on ebay about whether I had any tires for the 1/16 RC cars for sale . Since I have put all of mine to use I decided to pass on some places to get tires cuz well im a nice guy and I'm going to pass this on to you as well .


Ok tires for the MT and Truggy.

What happened to all the spiked tires in RC ?

Once upon a time almost all offroad RC's used spiked tires and frankly I miss them . Yes I know there are a few large pinned tires out there (mostly for buggies) that kind of look like spikes but there not.  

I like to look back at the glory days when spikes where everywhere and available in all kinds of size's and varieties.

                
 

Sadly the tires shown above have been discontinued . Some can still be found on ebay like the proline dirt paw's . 

There are many more tires I would have loved to share with you but sadly they have been lost  to the age's and No pictures could be found of them .

I really think the only way to preserve availability of spiked tires is to buy whats available and to be sure to speak our minds about what products we want.

So here is partial list of what is still in production.
