Its one of the items that ages badly, and if they are dry-cracked, you CANNOT replace 'em short of eBay at outrageous prices (unless you get VERY lucky) Hence, if they are fragged, the kit is good only for parts... unless you are good at DIY. A bunch of us are begging Tamiya to re-release some of the out-of-stock parts for the Leo/Gepard chassis so we can keep our beasties going, but as yet, what they have left in stock is all we can buy. WhiteWolf - with 2x 1a4's that have good road-rubber.
