stock slicks but I know I will blow them apart lol. You have something in mind that I can run that'll withstand high speed and not break the bank? I hear allot about the empanimas? (sp)?

I ran those, broke 3 of them at the hub, and one was shattering around the tire/rim edge. And this is on a 1:10 buggy converted to 17mm hex (lightweight). Very fragile IMO. They are supposedly coming out with a revised wheel for these issues, but I'm still waiting for my warranty replacement to see how those are. Also, have a wheel balancer, they tend to need balancing badly.

I have OFNA wheels and OFNA belted treaded tires now, you gotta build them yourself, but they dont break and require less lead to balance them.
