RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Thanks to Mr. Chad Martin, my four year search is over. There are others that I like the look of better, but with Tecnacrafts beggers can't be choosers.... I gues one could always resort to B&E at shodogs house, but watch out for the killer Wiener Dog. These are SUPERB!!!!! Nothing more to say.

Not for an RC10, but for Kyosho, but with a few mods, they should fit right up. I LOVE 'EM!

Welcome to the Tecnacraft club buddy They look sweet!

What mods are you going to do to yours to make them fit?

I have two sets of Optima wheels and I would need to drill the centres and make hex nut adaptors to fit them Is that allowed with Tecnacraft wheels?

Oh man nice score jay, those will polish up nicely. when you say you like others better, which others?

Nice find Jay, those haven't got any gold ano on them?

not all of them were made with gold anno. actually your better off without any because it give you the option of using some of tamiya's new clear paint to make them a color you like.

Ed, I was going to do that same thing, just take a hex adaptor and have a slot for the dog bone milled into it. Everything else should be easy.

Jim, If I could choose, I would prefer the set similar to your recently painted red set. I like those inners better than anything else.

Sweet, great score! Pah-leese keep the polishing wheel off of them though, only hand polish those babies.

I used a lathe to polish these. Are they too shiny for you?

Honestly I don't car that much for the four spoke.

OUCH!! Let me put on my shades. Ah, much better. Maybe a bit too shiney for my personal taste, I kinda like the semi-polished look better on most aluminum myself. The problem I have is when people shine the snot out of aluminum with anything motorized and end up rounding the edges on an otherwise sharp piece of aluminum. Looks like you managed not to do that, and your wheels turned out awesome. Just my taste. Your wheels show that in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, a mirror polish is possible, without rounding (ruining imho) the aluminum. Very nice work.

Lex, that is one sweet set of wheels you got there. You gotta post them on a project when your done.
