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

hello,


its been a while since i posted something on rc10talk,
i"ve been mostly reading and looking at other people"s projects.
but now i have a project that might be interesting for some of you.

i got this chassis from the local auction sites,
it got my attention right away, with a nice aluminum chassis and
(custom) metal wheels. that might be made by a machinist.
its not completely original, since a quick google search told me this car
had a ladder chassis and some plastic receiver box.





also the front wheels have two beads, on where the tire would rest and be glued,
the back wheels only have that on one side.
the tyres were not glued when i got it, do i need to have some beadlocks to have tyres on these rims??







if someone can id these blank tyres, that would be great!! they have no markings or text written on them,
and they are completely dried out and deformed.



i started on cleaning this thing and polishing it, im going to use my dremel for the small hard to reach area"s

this is all for now i hope you like it, and i will post some measurements of the wheels later on,
i hope after doing that, someone can give me tyre advice on what to mount on these wheels.

talk to you soon

I like these types of projects. Those tires look like a Tamiya Cheetah tires...

That's one cool modified Kyosho Rally Sports! Originally one of Akira Kogawas first designs for Kyosho/Auto Model.
