Thanks Rapscallion!!!
Hei! Cool! Those are the J82 wheels/tires on the front?
Would it be possible for you to take two photos from the same position with before/after showing the stock size wheels mounted on the car followed by the large? Either way, glad it worked out for you Let us know how it drives

Yes-- the J82 fronts & Proline SandPaws on the rear.
I can do that. Do you want the OEM rear tires on as well?

Good idea! I've already stretched the car out as far as it can possibly go - but I hadn't considered adjusting the camber. I'll definitely give that a shot before running the car again. Thanks for the tip!
I've noticed that many of the hinge pin holes in Niki's '91 Stealth racer parts that came from iMaterize are printed oversize (a standard 1/8 pin is way too loose).
A #30 drill bit which is 0.1285 diameter fits almost perfectly. I've found reamer...

It suddenly occurred to me tonight that the ProSC 4x4 uses large hinge pins. I happened to have a spare set, pull them out of the bag and measured them; 3.5mm D'oh!
Oh well, I guess I'll just have lots of spares.
I've got an MIP SP-1 gearbox. After some searching through the forum it looks like old Tamiya Sand Scorcher gears are the same. Is this true? Can they be used as replacements? Obviously the SP-1 gears are steel and the Tamiya are not. Next question...
Okay, I'm not a pro, let's just clear the air on that one.
I snapped a photo of my unpainted body with just 4 pieces of masking tape on it and posted it on one of my local off road tracks facebook page. It sparked some questions, so I thought I'd...

Nice tutorial. One comment though (bolding mine):
I use water based paints, there's not precautions needed for ventilation . I use a BBQ box with the side cut out for a painting booth.
Either paint outside where there is enough ventilation,...
I have seen a couple on here and we've discussed that they are rare. I have a handful and it's neat to see all the different tire treads. Just too bad some of mine are glued to old rims and fearful to remove them intact. I'd like to see what tires...

Thanks for the info Johnny. Yeah, I'm still in the military trying to stick it out for the long haul. Already past halfway but damn if these sensitive soldiers and politics are killing me! Hard to be an NCO when you can't cuss or even touch a...
Ok I'm at my wits end with this and I would like any help. I missed the boat when they were making tires and rims for the RC10 a few years back. I know there are rims still being made by JConcepts but tires are the bane of my existence. I'm willing...

I did dye the wheels for the Houge before I painted them.
Totally forgot about that until just now
They took dye as well as any other nylon I have done.

Thanks Chuck, that’s good to know. I could order a few sets in white then dye...
Are the 1.9 tires the tire that fit the really old RC10? the jelly bean rims. and if so is there a tire made now that you can use to replace them with and still get.
And the same for the front tires. What size are they and can you still get...

Well I don't even see a set on the bay. I saw a set of fronts but they wanted $38.00. so i'm out at that price.
so I guess the 1.9 are for the TQ rims?
Anyway I went in the barn today and found some NIP CRP front tires and a set of Trol 1.6...
What options are out there for the old small 3 piece rear wheel. I would like to have new tires for my shelfer project. I do not have to have the originals but smoething with that same type of spike tread would work. I have been out of the rc10...

yes it works .. i did it with the tamiya grasshopper tires.
you have to cut away a small part of the inside. if you have a original tire next to a tamiya one you will know what i mean.
