I saw those aluminium rims on Ebay, they are well machined, but damn how expensive they are compared to Tecnacraft or even Sees rims that are real vintage ones... By the way, could you tell me more about the Sees manufacturing (history, items they sold...) :?:

the dude just machined them using the stock wheels as a reference, they are one piece with the allens only giving flair. he sells them on ebay.

What brand are the sway bars? I like that they're adjustable! I guess there'se no reason I couldn't make a set just like them ...

Those tires are really doing it for me. I love those tall pins.

Do they make aluminum knockoffs that will fit the old RC10's? If so, I'd love to get a set if they looked like the stock knockoffs.

That body is the Hot Bodies Worlds body.

The rears tires look like Kyosho Sand Supers to me! Are they Hoop? Mel, I am pretty sure the same guy who makes those wheels makes aluminum knock offs to go with them. I'll look for an auction link for you.

yea the same guy that makes the wheels makes alum knockoffs. i'm not really a big enough fan of knockoffs to pay big coin for them.

rear tires are sand supers, fronts are schumachers. melvin hip'd me to the body, some guy on ebay was unloading them not too long ago. imo its a much sharper body than even the mirage. i have an active wing setup i got off ebay that will someday go on it, its my bells and whistles rc10.

i think the body posts are trinity, can anybody confirm that? they are hollow aluminum and pretty trick.
