gomesy 0 Posted June 12, 2012 Hey all, Just joined this forum, I've been into rc's for a little while now as mainly as a basher with nitro & electric. Long story short, now I'm the proud owner of a original tamiya big bear that a mate from my work GAVE me Everything works fine, but because it's been sitting for so long 2 of the tires are ripped & flat. I'm in need of some replacement ones. If you can help please let me know. Thanks in advance, Lorensze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
