That was an ancient Chinese secret method of water proofing your stuff back in the day...It worked then and should still work today...I did it to a couple of my cars back then also...

lol yes it does look like a baloon i never had luck with them .. water would always find a way in .. as for mine it was shrink wrap for weight savings .. i use to weight eveything trying to save .. it was before i was able to get alum screws, titanum parts and such
one part i wouldnt mind getting back is the old hydro clutch that came out after the slipper clutch .. i liked it
p.s. i never watch sports unless its auto racing lol ... i would love to see the moslen indy in T.O.
Why do those wheels look and measure oversized? Is it me or do they seem a tad larger than most?
What make and model are they? They look like Sees, without the forward cut. I am not sure that is what they are called, but they look larger. Does a 2.2 tire fit? I could use those wheels!!

dont know much about them .. im thinking 2 1/4 .. im thinking they where for the blackfoot for all the spacers they have to run on the truck .. ive been meaning to mic the bushings hopeing it will shed some more light on them
They look like regular ole truck rims at 2.2" X approx. 1.75" bead outside to outside lip. I had a set of these NOS fronts for a blackfoot I think awhile back and finally ebayed them only to find some matching rears a month after selling them . Can't remember if they were JPS or Sees though...primarily the same but BrandonG might know for sure on this board. He sold a ton of alloys (mostly SEES) a year or so back...

It’s been awhile since I was in the hobby. I recently wanted to get a new radio for my old RC10T so that my son could see it in action. That’s what started it all off again.
It all started when I saw some one with a RC10. I think I was 14 at the...
