Many crawler wheels are similar, the wheel is separate from the center adapter - different offsets and styles available.Coelacanth wrote: ↑Sat Aug 14, 2021 4:36 pm Very cool, never saw those before. What a great idea to design the wheels with a simple way to change the centers to fit different kinds of cars with just center adapters. Too bad you never see ingenuity like that anymore, it's all about being proprietary.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Proline now makes quite a few wheels with removable centers. https://www.prolineracing.com/images/6x30hex_chart.pdf
Here are some ebay cheapies I use on my scale Bronco
These things are especially great for 3D printing guys. You can make whatever hub you need for any application.

I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I had guessed at ZERO and that is what I have been chasing up but I have found literally...... zero.
I will be amazed if it is a motor that nobody has ever heard of.

So many companies back in the day, you just never know. I tried searching for air supply motors hoping to find one with a sticker looking close but nothing.

I was thinking Yokomo.... but in that case surely someone would be sticking their hand up saying they once ran one. It's a mystery so far.

There's a Trinity Speedworks Ground Zero motor. The endbell looks similar to other Speedworks but the label might not be decorative enough.

Could be, depending how the 'high quality' shadows in the photo are interpreted.
I'm curious what it's installed in. The surrounding structure makes me think gear drive for an aircraft.

It’s on a Schumacher transmission but I suspect it’s in an RC10

Ah, if I flip my phone upside down the perspective makes more sense. I see that now.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
You'll see what it's in soon enough..... as I have found the very car from the mag.... and hence why I am trying to find the motor.
