I need reccomendation as to suitable streamlined racing tires in about 2 3/8 inch diameter. I keep getting handed some foam tires at the local shops, and the model wiggles around just sitting on the table with these mounted. During takeoff, this will make the model use up all four lanes of the freeway. I think I need different, and would appreciate an appropriate late model name/title/manufacturer mention.

In the swap shop arena of the recent AMA Convention, came across couple of vendors selling obsolete tires for little. Bagged them up into some plastic shopping bag, but somehow they did not make it home. If any reader has them, please let me know.

At present time, am looking for rubber tires having some sort of width.

Was thinking Dave used to be associated with Y.S. engines until recently.

Use large round servo disc ;wheel La Racing; You could glue canopy edgeing around circumferance for rubber. Maybe even slit fuel tubing!
