awesome stuff.

I never expect the hurricane can be so beauty if it is in blue. I can't wait to see the finished blue rc10.

Are these the bearings I need?

No . 5/16 x 3/16 flanged for the front. Measure the inside DIA. of your bearing. If they are 1/8" they are pan car bearings. As far as the rings go they are (my guess) to adjust back spacing not only the RC10 but other makes as well. Unless I am missing somethig all RC10 front axles are 3/16.

Got my set...



Got a new project for these...

Has anyone else had the problem that the heads of the longer screws (for use when fitting the spacers) also have a slightly larger dia to the short screws. On the rear this presents no problem, but on the front weel rim the counterbore seems a touch smaller & the head of the screw doesn't sit into it properly? Also, annoyingly the surrations around the screw head have marked the wheel slightly around the counterbore, this is only on one of the front wheels as I realised what was happening before assembling the other wheel

P.S; the Ali, Losi rear axle spacer is spot-on for spacing the front wheels

PPS; Loving the blue ones.... very

I'm only throwing myself out there because I want a pair if I ever see the 5 spokes come back.

Yes, the 5 spoke will be back. I had confirmed there are still some rough center rims in my OEM site which are not finished the CNC yet. So I will have chance to get more 5 spoke for sale. Around 15 sets I guess, I did not check if any defect parts mix in. However, this is the soonest way to come out the rim.

Besides, I'm sure I'm not able to produce another lot. Because my OEM requires 200 sets minimum order which is not I can handled any more.
However, I need 1~2 weeks to finish the 15 sets. Then I will post them in RC10talk again since I really hope to support all my friends here.

I definitely want a set of the split spokes. Very sweet looking wheels!

Following the thread all the way through, the 15 sets that were spoken of have already come and gone...

The World Wheel/Hurricane design is still out there... for now.

That's what I thought at first, but the post by emerson was less than 30 days ago. Unless they were made and sold without him posting back? Any info Emerson?

They were sold in the B.S.T. section

And I can verify that I bought his very last set-

Dangitt!! I NEED to get into that section! I had several of these cars back in the day as most here have had. I'm wanting to put togther a brushless gold pan racer/beauty. If only I had the money as a kid as I do now...

I'm looking at getting a set of the Dazzles but what's the difference between the ones on ebay and the ones on the online store? There's an over $20 difference between the two.

Oops, thanks for reminding me. I did not notice the 25% discount for dazzle rim in my eBay store is end. Since eBay only allows seller to set discount for 45 days. So I have to continue it again & again.
