Well you would need the station for warming the tires, not just the actual warmers. Personally I find just doing a few quick laps with the 4Tec 3.3 and my tires are good, but I race on concrete with my foams. If it's for a 1/10 TC, just pick up a small battery or another one, so you can warm up the tires just by driving. What surface do you plan on racing on?

I run at ardent racing ( biggest indoor track in the uk ) google it.
I used to race a mi4 made bye the same company as those tyre warmers.
I have never needed them for indoor carpet but if you do go outdoors and it's cold, youl need em ;). Don't use these for foams though. oh and if you need somewhere to race pop down to ardent raceway because there's loads of people down to help you :)
