RC10 gold anodized rims from Pargu and tire combos

Post by TokyoProf »

I went to visit the Pargu store in South Korea earlier this year, and while perusing his shop came across his last gold aluminum rims for the vintage RC10. It must have been in storage for many years. These are the 1.7 rear and 1.9 fronts (I think these are the dimensions to the RC10 original). He makes all the stuff himself and sells the 2.2 size online.

I finally got around to installing some rubber tires and completed the entire wheel set on RC10 display model. The black plastic inserts make the fit and appearance a bit weird using the Good Year tires so I elected to remove them for the rear tires. I like the look of both the Good Year tires and the scale-like Tamiya Super Sand tires. I'm glad Tamiya and Kyosho don't have their branding on their vintage tires thankfully.

I tried a set of those tires on some JConcepts Detonator wheels, but the sidewalls rubbed on the carriers. They may have cleared truck carriers but I never got around to trying.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
