I can honestly say I've never seen anything like that before but I like it! I see you've been selling some rare items as of late for a good chunk of change. I had a few of them on my watch list. :)

No it´s a small one. The mid size was relased much later and if you look for shape and arrangement of holes it´s just the small one possible.

Jay, I forgot what it was called, I have only seen one on ebay about 3 or 4 years ago. I thought there was a disscussion about them here in the past but I cant remember where.
Thanks Bill
Have a nice day! :)

That's a great chassis kit there. Aaron is correct. I'd love to find one of those one day.
Ask Bob Stormer.

Found this in one of his adds from 2000/2001 time line.

Can anyone identify these aluminium rims? Aftermarket or home made?

Seem to have been turned from solid aluminium.... and they're quite heavy too - about 100gm each. From memory, I bought them advertised as for a 10T... they have bearing fronts and cross-pin rears.

Want to know how best to describe them..... :twisted:
