Okay here you go.
Hi my name is Jim and I am addicted to tecnacraft wheels.
This is my collection that has taken me years to accumulate. I have found some in hobby shops near and far, some from ebay and some as far away as the Philipines. Funny thing though, these were all made in a machine shop that is about 50 miles from my home. below comprises my collection except that I traded one set of buggies to Melvinsarmy in exchange for the smaller size ones I used on my original RC10. There is also one set missing that were completely taken apart at the time I took this photo.

Welcome.
If memory serves me right, you are in Dearborn right? I just moving out of the Metro Area after 10 years... worked in Allen Park. where in Dearborn are you (you don't have to give me an address ) You obviously are a collector and I am surprised that we never bumped into one another. It is a shame you joined the forum now as opposed to 8 months ago just before I left.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike. www.gojammedia.com
Shodog... MUST you always be topless when photographing your cars? What do you do lay down in the pile of wheels and push them all over you like that scene in American Beauty. LOL

Ahh, this thread just made my morning. Welcome to the forum! Sweet collections, it's nice to see another huge Technacraft collection. I've got two RC10 sets, and I feel extremely lucky to have them. My holy grail is still the Technacraft aerofoil wing.
Oh, shodog isn't topless when he takes his photos. He's totally nude!
I have used only one set on my Old school race clodbuster, The rest have never been run. I have bought 2 vehicles from Dahms racing bodies, Their dirt oval, and their blackfoot just for the wheels. Interesting side note about the black blackfoot shown in the picture...I put it there for a reason, it might not look like a set of tecnacraft wheels on it, but they are...In fact, those are prototype wheels...Dahms somehow got them from tecnacraft and used them on their truck for advertising. So I have a standard set and a one of a kind prototype set on my trucks. They have very large holes, and are unlike anything I have ever seen before.

Just came across this post. Welcome Damen, first I think the design your pops went with on the Tecnacraft turnbuckles was the best looking ever with quality second to none. I have used Tecnacraft on every early car I had from Associated and Losi as...
With the likelihood of a Tecnacraft re-re unlikely, I’ve set out to get some sets before the market picks back up. The first set I scored from ebay. the seller is a member here. They are for the early Kyosho ultima series of buggies.

Some of you might remember i got a killer deal last year , and scored some used, and a bit abused Tecna s . I sold off the Hot Trick Parts that came with it, and have been putting pieces together on this. The car is not mint by any means , but it...

Interesting , Rim width is 11/16 and the tire mounted to it is 265/65/20 ss-m . Other than the ot-66, they were the only other tires i had NIP. I wish they did fit the wider front Mid tires, that would look sick .
Hi all :)
Today I finally got my first set of T-crafts all the way from Sweden. Have been wanting a set of these beauties for a while and I have given up hope 1000 times when a friend in snowy Sweden told me that he had a set for sale - I don´t...

:shock: WOW, your stuff always looks good, but those tecna's make it look sweet :wink:
Here's some shots of my one my projects. I've tried to use as much Tecnacraft parts as I could find. Still need to find Tecnacraft wing mounts, a delta shock, and pick a body.
Big Thanks to littleVETTE for the T&A Hubs.
