FYI...really cheap Losi Sand Tires - 07.08.2009, 11:28 AM

I was on eBay last night and saw a seller closing out the Losi Sand Wedges and Sand Razors. Just search for Losi Sand and you'll find them. The Sand Razors are ~$5/pr and the Sand Wedges are ~$6/pr. Just keep in mind you'll need 40 series wheels of some sort for them. For anyone wanting to run them on 17mm hex wheels, Axial has a great selection.

I saw those, I wish they had some regular mt tires (besides kind pins) marked down like that. I was still thinking about a set of bolt-ons.

Those are tires only correct? Do those sand tires require foams? I know my Sand Paws for my Rustler dont...

they say includes tires and foams, so I guess they are pretty soft. Someone just posted up a couple lst's a day or so ago that had a couple sets on them.

Got ya, I didn't even pay attention to the title. I'm ordering up a set. Only thing I hate is she uses Parcel shipping with no other option. It took 7 days to get my last order from her. I hate Parcel shipping!

I have a set of 40 series beadlocks I'll swap them on and off for now.

I wonder how these would work on 1/2 up rulux wheels, to give them a narrower taller profile.

I saw a pic of a 40 series Masher mounted on a LPR style wheel. It just tucked the sidewalls in and made the top tread pattern give a bit more side bite. I'll look for that pic and see what I can find.

Wowwow! I want to buy 2 sets of them for my LST!!! I sent a message to him how much shipping is to the Netherlands, hope he'll respone soon :)


Btw, isn't it a good idea to make a "Cheap new stuff" topic? Where all rc-monster members can post their links of new stuff that is on sale or is really cheap?

Pic posted.

My guess is that these tires will do the same. I have a set of Losi truggy wheels, same as LPR, that i will try out as soon as I receive my set of Sand tires.

Thanks for the pic. Kind of neat, I put a set of mt mashers on 1/2 up rulux last night. It's cool to see the difference between the 40's and regular ones on those wheels.

We had that but the thread got deleted.

Guys...also note the shipping prices. It's $1 more shipping for some of the Sand Wedges than others. With the combined shipping they offer, you'll want to buy the ones with the lower shipping costs for sure.

I bought 2 pairs of the Sand Wedges and picked up a couple other thing from there to take advantage of the free shipping on additional items. Great deal.

I picked up 4pr of Losi buggy rears, 1pr Sand Wedges and 1pr Sand Razors for $39 shipped. I'm thinking about picking up a set of the Super Bolt-On tires as well. It's funny when it costs more for a set of plain plastic wheels than the set of tires.
