i have a gas powered hpi car, hpiracing.com.....it gets real pricey after a while. i think i have about a grand into mine between my father and I. after doing some research the gas powered guys run the drift tires(40$ for a set of 4) or wrap the tires in electrical tape. electric powered cars use pvc pipes for tires

this is the greatest thing ever. if you have a nitro r/c car wrap the tires in electrical tape and find a big open parking lot and have a ball
