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
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

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

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
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.

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.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
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.j-sou wrote:Kyosho Ferrari? I think F40, but not sure...
