Wheels, what are these supposed to fit?

Post by Synergy »

I have tried these on both of my 6010s my CE and my Composite Craft car, they wont fit on any of them :( , the output shafts are too large in diameter? I'm going to try them on my Ultima in a moment. Can anyone give me a clue :?

^^ ditto ^^ :wink:

depending on the backspacing, as long as they clear the rear suspension, you could pick up a set of b2 cvd's and some 3/8" x 3/16" bearings, and use the on an rc10. if they'd be close to rubbing the rear hubs or the arms, you could get a pr. of rear wheel spacers. i think they make them in a few different widths.

Lossi not Associated, when I bought them I was told they had come off an RC10 and were standard fit :x

Thanks guys, that sounds like a load of hassle for what was supposed to go straight on, I'm not happy :evil: I hope the vendor sees this thread and PMs me with an explanation/solution.

They probably would have fit a standard B2. Like scr8p sez, use some 3/16 B2 axles, not a big deal. :wink:

that car might have had the 3/16 axles, not the 1/4.

Who knows? Make 'em work or ask the seller, the car he took them off may have had 3/16 axles.

There is another trick, and that is to open up the back of the axle hole in the wheel to match an original RC10 wheel. The threaded portion on all axles is 8-32, so some careful measuring and drilling should get you there. You may need to get creative as far as the roll pins go..

My .02, I can understand your unhappiness though. :?

They came off of a used gold tub RC10 that is sitting right here on my shop bench. They were on the car when it arrived, and I didn't put them on any other car to see what they did and didn't fit. If you don't want to make them fit on whatever you have, I'll give you a full refund, and you can send them back to me.

Thank you, sorry I got a bit upset :oops: , I should have known it would be a honest error and that you would make it right however I would not have named you in the general forum without giving you that opportunity. You have a pm., thanks.
