    Need GOOD Tires

    I have the stock Talon tires that came with my Stampede but they balloon badly before I get to 50. Anybody know where to get tires that are for the Stampede and are for higher speeds??? Are these any good Pro-Line Street Fighter 2.8??? I found some high speed tires - J-Concepts 3056-3030 2.8

    ive heard they're pretty decent but if you want to minimize ballooning, tape the tires before you glue them on

    or

    they are expensive but you could get some belted tires

    Where to get the belted tires at? Also are you taping the inside? If so how much of the area are you taping and with what kind of tape?

    Yes, you tape the inside - one or more wraps of regular width duct tape.

    Alot of YouTube vids, but here's one:
