Recognising when you have a problem......

[Incredible_Serious]

I moved almost a year ago now... just before I moved, I had to pack up all my RC dungeon, which took quite a while and quite a few boxes. When packing up all that carp, I kept coming across used wheels and tyres, which I just threw into one of the shipping boxes, and taped up when I was done.

Fast forward to last night.... it's a Thursday night, nearing the end of winter, it's raining, the nightlife is a little on the dull side..... so I thought I'd try going through the box. The picture below is what came out, after sorting:

The lot included this big pile of single tyres, mostly used but some new or newish:

Also was this not as big pile of wheels:

And also this quite decent pile of mounted wheels and tyres:

I did also find a nice lot of used but cleanable Mini Mustang wheels, which was a bit of a nice bonus, and a few Optima / Peugeot 405 wheels, which I was actually looking for.... the worst bit was that of all the 1:10 pan car wheel rims I found, NONE of the foams were usable.... d'oh!

Also note, this is just the 'bits and bobs' I found while cleaning up.... methinks I have too much junk!

I had a big pile like that, or still have, I cant remember anymore. I ended up throwing most of the junk tires away and kept the semi-good ones. I've also accumulated a decent pile of bodies.

Lately I've just been trying to get all the cars I have in display condition instead of buying new cars or parts for future cars. One day we'll get there.

got any AE TQ71 front tires in the pile

Not certain exactly what's in the pile..... unboxed it, sorted it, split the used from the usable tyres, then put it all back in the box again!

I really do doubt it, though..... not a lot of AE tyres in there.... mostly from Schumacher, Tamiya, and Kyosho cars and buggies...

Nice pile you have there Alex, mine has been growing very rapidly since I get into vintage a few years ago, nothing like yours though.

I can fix that if you like......

I'm sure you can, any turbo optima rims in there?

actually better not check, as I'm in the process of moving and funds are real tight.

Probably.... what do they look like?

Not like this pile is going anywhere.....
