Don't forget the very first tires that came in the kit! these were shown in the original advertisement for the truck.

here we go- original RC10T tires, typically only seen in Ads for the truck and sometimes here on rc10talk.com :). I have a higher resolution if you need it (limitations in size during posting).

I thought I was pretty lucky to find these. These tires have a slight modification on the outer edges. I believe originally they would have been just as tall as the treads.

Thanks!

This is an awesome thread! I remembered all I forgot about the early years! I have an original 10T, 7001 stamped that am actively racing for the first time (spent the last almost 20 years in the attic)!

Any idea what trucks these did come on? Early 7001s? What rear tire were they likely paired with? I have a set of these for my mid build (I think) 7001.

Those tires (pro 45) came on the first runs of the #7001 truck. Rears are non marked pro 90

For some reason, I'm continuing to obsess over the 7001 tires. I was just going through some of the RC Car Action magazines from 91, and made an interesting discovery. The August issue had the Cliff Lett prototype truck that's shown in the beginning of this thread, and it's got the skinny tires and the Pro 90 rears. What was interesting is that the November 91 issue had the very first review of the production truck, which I would assume was a very early build. The pictures clearly show the 7820 rear tires, and the text specifically calls out the 7820s, as well as the 7871 narrow fronts and the 7870 wide fronts. It seems that if the early 7001s really had the Pro 90s and Pro 45s, that this review truck would have had them. If some trucks really did ship with that combo, it had to be very, very few.
