Hi all,

I'm new to this hobby although I played with small electric RC cars all my life.
I just bought the OFNA DM-ONE-SPEC RTR - 1/8th Nitro Touring, which I like a lot....

However I have a question, in 2 days my tires ripped twice? is it normal? wacko

Where do you guys buy spare parts? I need to buy 17mm tires with the rims...

Cheers,
Jazko

Hi Jazko,

check this LINK for a full list of hobby stores in dubai.

1/8th nitros do tend to eat tires for breakfast especially if they are a soft compound tire. The heat now also play a big factor and softens the rubber so they wear a lot quicker too

I would suggest trying some medium or hard compound tires they should give you a slightly longer lifespan very happy

Thanks for the help! I really appreciate...

I haven't tried drifting yet.. need to find a good place, and buy the tires for that! wink

Actually I bought the Kysho V R (something) at hobby center, but when I went to another shop to get a remote, I found that OFNA DM1 and because it is less complicated to turn on, i bought it...
I still have the Kysho, but still didn't turn it on... I put it on sale, but if I don't find anyone to buy it, I guess I will have to use it :p
