Rc10 pt2

[purplenut]

Ok just remembered that this car came with a set of wheel & tires at 1st i thought they were form a frog ect,but after doing a little research on Rc10s i now think they are from a early car well defo the fronts.
What do you think???

Look like tamiya holiday buggy to me, would make sense with the other tamiya wheels that were fitted

Holiday Buggy rear wheels & tyres, Sand Scorcher fronts.

Yes, your link is to one of the very first hand-made RC10's with those exact same wheels on as yours... which are still Tamiya Sand Scorcher fronts no matter what car they are on....

Ok well at least i can use them...

IMO they look better than the other wheels and are more in keeping.
And i was so close with the fronts, that'll teach me to view photos on my mobile!

If you are after any wheels or bits to restore yours, let me know and I'll see what is there once I receive them

Turns out it wasn't a good enough a deal for the seller, as he has just raised a case with ebay to cancel the sale. Paid for them same day as I won the auction and he waits til now to do this. FFS

What a tosser, bloody shame looked a good find😥

That's what I thought, alledgedly his brother sold them to someone he works with without telling him. More like the muppet wanted more money than they reached
Aah well, looks like I'm after another rc10 then!
