Since I know the seller and can vouch for the material, yes. I'm going to talk to the fellow tomorrow and ask him why he sold me my set of tires (4 vice 12) for not quite as nice a price...of course I live not too far from his store and did not have to pay shipping.

For reference, the stock tires usually run $63 +tax + shipping for a set of four brand new.

For reference, the TQ-3 and receiver alone run about $75 brand new.

sounds like a good deal to me, what makes you question it?

I bought a set of four at the LHS for $20+tax

The story behind the deal is pretty simple. The Federal Government contracted with a few hobby shops to refit several thousand E-Maxx for some special projects. They removed the stock wheels and replaced them with JumboKong sized tires. They removed the stock radio equipment, suspension, shell, and tranny and replaced them with other things.

So they have thousands of the wheels, shells and other parts to get rid of. Basically new in box style without the box.

whats the government doing with them?

20 is what he sels 4 of them 4
to get the better deal u got to get the 12 for 30$


also i questioned it cazz i wasn't sure how much they were new at a hobby shop

I spoke with him today. Turns out he is selling them at a slightly higher price locally to hopefully get the same on eBay. As for what the government is doing with them...one can only guess, but I am putting money on a remote surveillance or demolition tool. Strap on a camera system and go spy or strap on a bomb and go blow something up.

Makes no difference, the parts are still new and still inexpensive.
