[Mr. ED]

That's a nice apache Pierre, yours?

I think my apache wheels have slots for a cross-pin?

[prp]

No it's not mine, the wheels have the same look.

[Mr. ED]

I just went and took a look at the old girl. These wheels are definitely not the apache rears (nor fronts).
The Apache wheels are of the 3 piece design and the holes are closer together. Are all 4 of the same width: I'm thinking this might just be something from a toy car without motorization?

Have one nitro old car at 90‘s, anyone knows what brand and name of this one? thanks

Could someone say what model these wheels would fit???

I've had this nice set of wheels for years - I believe I bought them "for Associated RC10T...", but they do not fit any of my 10T's.

The rears fit 3/16 axle, but with pretty deep offset, they rub the lower shock mount of: 10T, T3, JRX-T

The fronts accept common 3/16 x 3/8 bearings, but the bearing spacing is much wider than the front axles on my: 10T, T3, JRX-T
((the outer bearing sits way out at the end of the threads))

i think the nitro on road is a duratrax street force.

dldiaz, I think I have seen those on LXT or XXT's before.

[slapshot1979]

I had a set (different wheel) with similar offset on a JrT ?? Someone here bought it cant remember who? Diamond Dave??

In Australia at least, that was sold as a Great Vigor P190. In other parts of the world, it may have been sold by Conrad and/or Megatech...

This link will help: http://www.rctech.net/forum/nitro-road/371579-any-ideas-what-model.html - ignore mention of Kyosho or HPI....

Very popular in Australia in the early 2000s as a cheap nitro RTR (with V8 Supercar bodies usually), although unfortunately, the GV-Hobby link is no longer any good for the manual.

I think those wheels are HPI, but don't know further

[klavy69]

the wheels are RPM Slingshots. I would take a guess at traxxas hawk for the fronts...they had a really long front axle. For the set they could be xxt or something like that but I don't have the experience with those.

I've got a NIP set for an associated if you need some dimensions on offsets to compare...

Thanks for all the suggestions about my wheels.
I may still have a Jr.T or LXT (I don't remember exactly) chassis at my parents' house - I'll have to see if they fit...

klavy69 - If I still can't fit the wheels on a newer Losi truck, I may want to compare to the specs of your Associated wheels. Thanks again.

Anyone know what a Thorp "cheater gear" fits?

[klavy69]

it looks like the topshaft gear for a traxxas nitro hawk....
