These adapters are really cool, direct bolt on to the RC10 axles and bearings. I've never seen anything from this company until today. Fit perfectly on the 2.0 870C front wheels and the newer JC Racing 2.2 wheels. Check out the pics.
can you post dimensions of those adapters? the overall thickness(width between bearings), and the depth from the outside edge to flange where the wheel seats flat.
if the standard yoke adapters have a close offset and width, they can definitely be drilled out to accept bearings.
What's the difference between the Henning adapters and the Yokomo TH-1 wheel hub adapters for the RC-10? The front adapters take bearings the same as the Hennings at least that's what it looks like to me.
at the time they were made, probably just availability, they are probably exactly the same.
now that I look at them for a second, the dimensions really figure themselves out. the overall width fits on an associated axle with bearings. Then the lip looks to be just about flush or slightly proud of the wheel surface.
Allright, so these are supposed to be yokomo to hotshot wheels hub adapter. Problem, the axle hole is 6mm diameter. Now mx4 and mr4 would have 6mm axles, but they are locked to the hub with a pin. These use a set screw like yz10 870c. However, the...
I am in the making of an adapter for the old RC12l/LW/LS to mount the newer 3-bolt wheels. I know one is available from shapeways, but I want it made out of alloy. I just need the exact diameter of the 3-bolt circle. It is not very exact to...
I've wondered recently, the wheel adapters that came in my early Edinger intended using Tamiya wheels on the front and Holiday Buggy/Rough Rider rubber on the rear...

They don't get much attention, even with the Halsey replicas...

they came with every jelly bean rear rim.
Never realized that, but it figures :oops: Thanks J.
I have a question that I hope someone could test and try and answer. The question comes from my Euros 1986 Euros winning Optima project see: and it is about those front wheel mounting: with what parts is that made? There seems to be Tamiya...

Thanks V12! Now I know what to search for. I did have a few tricks to try left, like pressing very hot Optima aluminium hexagon adapter against Hotshot wheel adapter to reshape it and use both adapter together, but now I don't have to guess more....
I apologize for what seems like such a simple stupid question! :roll:
I picked up a T4FT earlier today and dug a bit into it. I found the front wheels were held on with plastic nuts. From my quick research, the front threads should have been 4-40...

When I tighten the nuts on aluminum axles, I don't really even hold the nut driver tight. I just spin it with my finger tips. When it snugs up, I stop.
I would like to have a pair of vintage Yokomo rears on a RC10. Are there any easy to come by adapters on the market or do i have to rely/hunt on the bay?

Hm! I've seen a pair made by Hot trick, but they do not have the centering flange between wheel and nut. We'll if the wheels are as hard to come by as the hubs... If there are hubs to be made I'm in for a set or two :)
