You have a link for the ones you say you use for $50, basically I want some that are going to be good for multi purpose I live in the desert.

I could not find the Imex special.

I like the Bowtie. It a good fit for the XB. I run fronts.

Those are great wheels and tires, I have them on my XB-E, but don't make the mistake I made and get all fronts. As I found out after the fact the rears are the same height, just a bit wider. After I had all fronts mounted I found out that they were the same height and had to buy the rears on top of the four fronts I already had. I just find the look is much better with the wider tires in the rear.

Thanks for the advice, but I personally don't like off matching sized tires and didn't want the wider ones in the front so I went with all 4 front

Yeah it's simply personal preference, I just prefer the look of the wider (although same height) tires on the back of the buggies. MT or SCT I like all four the same.

This is very true, Im hoping to be able to unload my second XB so I can get more hop ups and what not for my main XB I would love to pick up this engine http://www.oneillbrothers.com/rc-car/engines/prostock-ported-full-mod-long-blocks/1718-7-5hp-full-mod-zenoah-27-2cc-3mm-long-rod-4-bolt-long-block.html

as the stock engine is being dumb and will not fire up not too sure what's wrong with it not sure if I want to spend the money to ship it to redcat so they can see if they can fix it for them to turn around and say it's not covered under warranty (which would be my luck lol).
