Tamiya to Associated wheel adapters on first RC10 kits

[Snake Plissken]

I just read the Model Cars RC10 review at the scan archive and apparently the first generation RC10 included adapters for Tamiya wheels. If someone here has them I would really appreciate a pic as I never seen these anywhere. I guess at some point Associated stopped including the adapters as RC10 wheels and tires became industry standard.

industry standard? Not untill they go metric

I would say the standard in 1/10 is the 12mm hex.
Original design from Kyosho?

But ok, you could argue it's both: the hex only became real succesfull after it was combined with asso's pin through the axle.

Edit: sorry didn't realize you were refering to front wheels till I clicked submit and skidrows post showed up also

[Snake Plissken]

actually I did meant the rear wheels, but maybe only front adapters were available? (see pic)
I think I may have used the term 'industry standard' too liberally. What I meant of course was that pretty soon every third party manufacturer made replacement wheels and tires for the RC10.

[SkidRowe]

Yeah, only front wheel adapters came in the kits. I'm not sure if and when they stopped including them in the kits. I don't think associated ever made adapters for the rears.

I'd still like someone to tell me the manuf of the Goodyear tires.... I can't seem to answer that or get it answered.

Didn't someone answer this for you recently?

[mrlexan]

No, just "I think." I must see proof.

[Dr. Robotnik]

Well I no longer have those parts, so can't offer you visual proof, only my word as an officer and a..... oh never mind!
