i cant be sure, but my grandfather did some custom rims for his rc10 that look exactly like those, however they werent for a 10T...perhaps someone asked him to make a pair, or they are just very similar to what he produced. (to be fair, they are a very simplistic design from a manufacturing standpoint)

I bought this set of aluminium buggy wheels on a whim a couple of days ago (A bargain too :D ) : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260878340613?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Can anyone identify them or what buggys they were designed to fit? I think they might be Lohas but not entirely sure. The wheel fitments are 12mm hex all round so i'm going to have to make up some adapters to fit any of my buggys.

Yes it looks similar to a Delta Spyder with different pod but it is a TRC Pro12.

I believe they're Lohas wheels for the Kyosho Optima series. If you can't make the Schu fit, I'll pay you double what you paid for 'em. ;)

They are in fact Lohas.

I still don’t know how manufactured this shock tower to the COX Scorpion. It’s made to support “big bore” shocks as Parma/Kyosho Land Jump.
I got one suggestion it would be made by Kyosho to Advance/Assault. But as far as I know Kyosho only made 2 different shock towers to the Circuit 1000 cars (the tow lowest in the picture).
My guess is that Parma or JG made this shock tower, but I like to know for sure.

That sure looks like a Le Mans 480 Gold knockoff. "Kyosho Japan" would normally be stamped on the endbell. Also, that can is a bit different, the edges at the pinion shaft end are rounded. Looks nice, though.
