help finding a thread I know I saw....

Post by jwscab »

OK....I saw a thread just recently someone built an rc10, it had rear wheels that were directional, maybe prolines? Not sure....anyway, I have matching fronts and trying to thin out the stuff in stock and thought whoever it was might be interested in them...... I think it was an old build that someone brought back up recently

the wheels look like this:

that would be the one Scr8p......and it also looks like that build is well over 5 yrs old, and probably not even around anymore......

oh well, at least I know I wasn't going crazy....hah....thank you!

those wheels will be in the BST area within the next day or so, just FYI.....

Those look like Imex wheels to me..without the chrome.

yep, definitely Imex. One of the best lookin aftermarket wheels IMO. Ran a set similar on my gt and first tube shot I shattered one of the fronts and broke a rear...or viceversa. Either way I have a partial set of trucks in black
( :roll: ), set in chrome and a set of buggy in white I just got a month or so ago off here from another member. Nice catch on the thread of asso_man. I remember seeing that thread awhile back and had it in mind but leave it to the all seeing scr8p to remember which thread it was :mrgreen: .

Imex confirmed, I have a set of chromed rears as well, first time I see the fronts actually. Are they in good shape and do they fit RC10 front bearings? If so, I'll take them to match the rears. PM me please! Thanks!

I had a set on the front of my rc10 years ago, think they came with various inserts to fit different bearings

Mine shattered too :(

wasn't imex's slogan something like..... Guaranteed to break before the tires wear out.... or something like that?

if it wasn't it should've been. I bought a set and another bought a set from the LHS and we both shattered a rim before the first tank of fuel was out. Not saying there wasn't any speed or fun involved :wink:
