Wheels are easy, tyres less so.

The wheels are the same as the Dynastorm, and are still used on current cars so easy to find.
The wheels are:
RC 2WD Off Road Astral Wheels - Dish Front (60/19) part number 51205
RC Off Road Astral Wheels - Dish Rear (60/29) part number 51206

Tyres are harder to find as they have been discontinued. They are:
RC Front Tires, part number 9805617, also listed as part number 53083
Rear Spire Spike Tire Set part number 53093, discontinued, but has been 'replaced' by Rear Square Spike Tire Set, part number 53084 that is still produced and is similar but with square spikes instead of round spikes.

For the body, here's the Dynastorm repro from Team Bluegroove

Great! this is valuable info. Do they have it in pink? Thats the one on the rc10. The originals come in that color. As for the tires, i'll have to settle for the square spike if available. Oh before i forget, is the aluminum post for the upper deck still used on some tamiya cars? I have two missing. Thanks Terry

The wheels are only available in white, but you can dye them any colour you want with Rit dye. Can't help with the posts, but anyone with access to a lathe should be able to turn up replacements.

I would think the same about Tamiya wheels, but it seems many people have been successful dyeing them. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=62036 I think the trick is to just keep it simmering and don't let the wheels sit on the bottom of the pan.

Seems this part is universal to all tamiya double decked rc's. I remember their porsche 956/toyota toms 1/12, they look the same. Well i'll go check it out this weekend. Thanks

This is from a chap on Oople. Think he still owns all of them. Astute to dynastorm evolution 8)

I have the same shell if anyone wants to have a stab at creating a mold - its very basic in design - like an early dynastorm prototype.

Very nice and rare collection! :) Is the car with the white suspension arm dyna storm? Are the arms 'one offs' or after market d storm?

The car with the white arms is a modified astute, look to be hand made. There is more info on these cars in the original Oople thread - which i cant find now!
