They'll show up, I live right next to LAX, Not far ro travel after they got off the plane. Email the guy, he responed to my emails very quickly:
 
Elligi foams (hard) these will last you the longest of all the other lhs brands out there, for my tc3 I use EV106E (rear)EV104E (front)
These tires are made in Italy and cost a few bucks more, but as soon as you put them on and drive you will understand why! well worth the coin ! Great tires!
 
he said they di shipp but won't see them till early next week..I'm cool with that
:cheers:

they did come two days later.He is pretty reiliable. he communicates with you and assures you that you will get them.I will buy more from him

You don't have to go for low quality to keep the budget down, have a look at my website at http://shop.radiostyrt.no/ you'll find 1:10 Foam for $17.84 for a complete set! Retail is $28!

The GQ tires are far better than Ellegi and all the other GRP-tires on grip, and they last longer! They are also more correct shore-wise than other tires. If you buy 40 shore, that is what you get!

For parket-lot racing I would recommend 40 shore front and 37 shore back or 40 all around.

Hey Espen

Just wondering is the postage correct? I can get a set of tyres (2 pair) from HK to Australia for $4.53, your site says $11.70, is that correct for US -> OZ ? I guess thats just the extra distance and different postal service hey..
 
I drive on parking lots and places thatg arent too smooth and clean... how long will foams last?
 
Hey invaderzim... there are a few different variables that will tell you how far foams will go.Sometimes it depends on the type of driving you do or maybe the way your car is set up. The general rule is that for parking lots and such that aren't groomed you should stick to a shore rating of 35 and above. I run 35 shore one mine and they are just fine. I don't suggest that you go lower if you don't race on an area or track meant for RC racers. Check out your LHS and track to see what the experienced drivers use and recommend. Good Luck!!!

Yes, the postage is correct. We are based in Norway which is FAR away from Australia compared to Hong Kong :). Then again, two pairs should not be 11.70 but 8.50, so perhaps the weight-calculation is wrong, I'll check it out!
