found another modern hex wheel for RC10

Post by 59burst »

I found the wheels at my LHS and they seemed to have right offset for RC10 and later B2/B3.
parts # is Hongnor TM-49Y or Ofna #40849 wheels for CRT.5. and just checked they are listed on ebay also

offset is perfect with HPI hex adaptor. and TC3/TC4 wheel hubs worked for 3/16" alxes

I remember talkin' to the guys at the Jammin' booth at RCX a couple years back about this. I never followed through with it though, since they don't make fronts that'll work on the '10... Seems like a great option still and Tower sells them as a four pack....

I also thought I read about this being an RC10 wheel option on the board here a few years back.... :?
Definitely good information to have for those not wanting to do the work of a B4 wheel conversion. :wink: 8)

The RTR version CRT.5 wheels come in white....

http://www.jamminproducts.com/CRT5RTR.html

If I can dig out the catalog I got at the show, I could swear it showed yellow, white and black wheels as optional parts. The jammin' website isn't much help as far as spare parts go.. :?

Sorry about the missing pics... :roll:

I was actually looking for them myself last weekend.

The problem I had with them was the yellow doesnt quite match AE yellow, and the axle hole is quite a bit larger than the axle, and if you arent careful putting them on, the wheel wobbles.

Maybe it was the cheap hex adaptors I used, those alloy ones you posted look really cool.

Hey 59burst, do you know Joe Joe? I just left Korea but raced with Joe Joe a few times while I was there. He told me he had a friend that was in to the vintage stuff just wondering if that was you.

There's a really nice quality traxxas wheel in 12mm hex too

http://cgi.ebay.com/Traxxas-Mini-1-16-Revo-White-Dish-2-2-Rim-Wheels-/400149269438?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d2ac14bbe#ht_2063wt_706

(perfect with a slightly fatter than usual hex and stock arms). What is the part number on those HPI adaptors?
