Thanks. Maybe someone knows the other wheels no. 2, 4, 6, 8 and the no. 11 aluminium wheels?

Found one more wheel and tire. I think this might be Tamiya as well.

Tamiya Holiday Buggy.

I might be wrong on 13...they may be Triumph wheels instead of Lazer/Inferno. Also I know I've seen the alloy wheels before but can't place them.

I'm gonna say XXT, to shallow of an offset for the LXT/10T. All the others, you nailed them.

As we're talking about wheels... bought these gorgeous alloy ones probably a decade ago, and they'll be the start of a new RC10 project that I finally have time and energy to tackle 8)

what are they? (I'm pretty sure I knew what they were when I bought them bitd... :roll: 1/4 rear axle)

Pretty cool motor. Never seen a 552 but MRP used 550 for their Roar approved stock motors and 551 for their modified motors. I'd assume 552 is a step above those, but given that they're still using bushings they might have not been super hot winds. Maybe there was a 553 rank that used bearings. :lol:

It's an Igarashi based motor and they would've been used up until the early 80's :?: I'm guesstimating that by about '84 they were outclassed by the Yokomo and Kyosho/Trinity cans with replaceable brushes. There are members that have much better info on them than me though.
