The Official "What is it?" Thread

Who knows what these go to? The foam tires are made up of several thin donuts that are glued at a stagger to create an off-road style tread.

Those are AJ's and fit Jerobee based axles

I have a pair in a (beat up) Tamiya box.

Thanks fellas. I guessed at them being Jerobee tires too but j-sou's obviously got it right with them being Tamiya.

Huh...wonder what tamiya had a axle like that? I sure don't remember the super champ having a axle with a flat

I was confused by that too. Unfortunately I can't read the text...

Found this bit of info on them...looks like they come with special axles. Are there any in your box j-sou?

of course not!
Though they were in a big box of parts I got years ago (mostly SRB stuff). Maybe I have them around here somewhere
If not I'll see if they fit one of my Jerobee cars

We've briefly talked about them on here before. I remember saying how peculiar they were and that I've never seen anyone actually use them on anything before coming here. Also that I remembered back in the day my local hobby shop having boxes of them and never seeing them move off the shelf. It just seemed like nobody knew what their purpose was or what they specifically fit.

Those orange wheels in the Tamiya sponge tyre set were first used in the Can Am Lola. Chris.

Like rears to match these fronts??

Kyosho Ferrari? I think F40, but not sure... Searches are so diluted with mini-z and static model stuff, I can't figure out whats what when digging around for "Kyosho Ferrari" and related stuff.
Remembered I had this well worn chassis while building my DS.

Yep. That's right j-sou.

cool, I'm going to toss those staggered block tires and put some regular foams on the rear wheels so I have a matching set!

Yes, Ferrari Testarossa. The F40 version used an Optima base if I remember correctly. It will help some if you add "scale car series" to your searching as thats the line it's from.
