If anybody knows where to find some Carlsson quick change wheels, clutch bells and Viking 4WS or 4WD radio tray, I would be so glad to get some hints on that.

I was lucky to come across another Carlsson car. It was a Beginner with just about all the parts I needed for my first car. Here is my car now. Radio plate ,new front bumper and a few little things.

Another lucky find. Never be run. The car is a Viking with a Mercedes 450 SLC body and an earlier radio plate.

Haven't seen your fantastic Carlsson thread before now. Great collection! As a rc enthusiast from Norway, the neighbour of Sweden, I find the "local" Swedish rc production interesting. Late 70's to early 80's there was a substantial rc car production in Sweden from Carlsson, Minicars and Slotcar. I have a Comet and Viking project to take on when time allows :) Also have a 1/12, that I used for a museum exhibition here in Norway along with a 1/8. You can see them along with cars from Slotcar and Minicars scrolling down this thread: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=27601

And those off road rubber threaded tyres on foam cores are very very hard to find. I have been looking for a used rear one for years.

Thank you. This is the only CAR I've seen with these wheels. I've looked at you site many times. Verry Very nice. I'll keep a look out for a rear wheel for you. If you ever see a radio plate for a 1/12 car, please get up with me.

I think those wheels must be some of the most hard to find parts...
In Scandinavia the 1:12 got the nick name "The confectionery box". The lexan radio tray with the "wells" really resembled such a box. I'll keep my eyes open.
