if they measure 2.2" overall OD, it's likely they are actually 2.0" wheels inside the bead surface. the original 870c cars had 2.0" wheels, which were white, I believe. However, you could in fact get wheels that were 2.2" and most often pink. So you need to have a set of caliper...

Hi guys

Just received this nice 870c. The wheels are 2.2'', would these be the correct/original kit size?

Thanks pal. Mine is in the attic somewhere, may get chance to built it one day

Just wondered- have the availability of these kits dried up now? I haven't been able to do much RC stuff this year, but I had a quick search and it seems there aren't any left with UK sellers now- apart from the Worlds kit.

Could someone explain to me how these kit prices work? Just wondering because I see this kit will be between £220 + £240, but the kyosho RB6 is over £100 more! They seem very similar kits?? 1.

After recently buying a Topcat, I really enjoyed reading this thread Dan. Just need one or 2 parts for mine before the rebuild starts.

Yours is looking superb though, and that MG Orange Dot is a peach, would like to get hold of one of those, especially in that condition.

What a peach that is, great work PRP

very nice build, good work. Wish I hadn't sold my new built one now

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but after reading, I realised I had a used set of these gold UJ's (see pic)

Could anyone tell me which Kyosho cars these were fitted to please? Apologies if answer is on one of the other pages.

Cheers

Dan, only just seen this thread, great read and the car looks superb!

I've just sold an unbuilt NIB meteor, wish I'd kept it now! Still have enough parts to build 2 cars though.

Oh, apply silicone spray on those tyres, you'll be amazed.

Another here for loving the tangerine dye. You should copyright that look, because I think one or two of us will be copying it!

Good work

I love the body colours, and Super Shot gold wheels..

Thank you Stumpy

Here is my restored Mini Mustang. It's not perfect, but as close as I'll get due to the rarity of the parts. I always wanted to get hold of another PB as the PB Eco Mustang was my first serious RC car. Back in the day it was fitted with Supershot Gold wheels, hence why these are fitted now. I had so...
