Well, ran my buggy around for a little bit yesterday and split my tire with a less than graceful landing on the asphalt. I superglued it back together til I can order some tires. Also, one of the screws on the clutch plate backed out and smoked 1 of my brake pads and melted some plastic. Hopefully it didnt melt anything too important. I installed some BIC springs on the brakes while I had it apart. Oh well, all in the name of fun! I'll run it today to make sure everything is OK.

Looks like you hit a curb or crashed it.

Get a set of silverback lipped outer beads.. stronger
and cheaper than stock.

Does DDM sell them? Also, I was going to order a set of the badlands from DDM for $36, is that for 2 tires and the foams? I imagine yes as it says a set. I had nose-dived the buggy and tried to correct it by applying gas. The rear tire in the pic contacted the ground first and at an angle, that's why it looks chewed up.

hey bud may I suggest proline or hpi tires.......the km tires are know for being weak, Also when you have your tires off wrap some duct tape tightly around the foams as this will reduce ballooning of the tires.
