I like the wheels with the deep dish look, it makes no difference to the fitting. Are these the bearings I need? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1-8x5-16-x9-64F-Metal-Shield-Flange-Ball-Bearings-/310285986258?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item483e7c69d2 1/8x5/16 x9/64F Metal Shield Flange Ball ...

Please help again!

I got myself some 3/16 x 5/16 bearings which now fit the wheels fine, but they are too small internally to go over my axles! What the hell am I doing?

Dan I just bent it up out of some alloy rod, was a little tricky as it has 8 bends in the 1 peice though. Alloy rod is really cheap so it's easy to practice

I really like the wheels on your rc10 beetle, looks like a scale class 11 stock baja racer.

Heres my RC10SS, might help with some of your ideas.

G'day Guys, Just finished my Kyosho beetle. Chromed the rims & the rear cage, fitted a SS driver with WW head, working front headlights, repro body painted metallic black. Beetle number plates, NOS bottle & 20 turn motor with a lipo will be fun. Will take it to the beach soon for some decent...

G'day Guys Been looking for ages for a Kyosho Beetle to add to the VW collection, finally found a mint example. Looks to have hardly been used. Not a spec of dirt anywhere, not so much as a scratch on the body, terrible paintjob but I already have a new body & decals for it so I'm going to have ...
