Robbie speaking for Expert Village. We're going to take a little bit of time to talk about tires at this point. Tires for RC's, all of them of course come with tires, rims on them. Generally what you are going to get when you buy a ready-to-run RC is a general purpose tire. A tire that's kind of good for everything whether it's driving on concrete, asphalt, dirt, maybe a racetrack, park, beach, something like that. But they're not really good for everything. Most of the time when people will change out there tires; you'll find there is a lot of personalization in the cars. Don?t really, when you buy one they all pretty much look the same, so the first thing we find most people will do is go about personalizing or changing, customizing their car. Usually tires is the first thing they go after. A lot of them will do it for looks. Lots of different styles of tires. These are some feedlock tires that folks will put on there, they don't require gluing. You actually put the tire in there; clamp the bead lock on it just like you would a real four wheel drive, off-road truck. All different types of styles and designs. These are mostly show when you see the chrome ones. Racing ones, no frills. Just more of a basic type of rim. Racers go for the simplest, less complicated type of thing.
