Can anybody tell me about these wheels? I'm assuming they're early Schumacher or after market.
Also wondering what I need to fix this wing in place.....I seem to recall some popper style buttons clipped in?
Ah thanks
The top of these buttons have no holes?!? I remember those elastic bands and hooks now!
The wheels are 2wd narrow so I guess they're for the Top Cat?
Fishing around online, I see there was a 2wd version of the Cat XLS. I presume the wheels are off one of those??
Can't seem to find anything about this car, no pictures or info at all

The car in question would have been the Cat XL, not XLS... if you get the XL manual, it tells you how to build the car in standard wheelbase 4wd, long wheelbase 4wd or long wheelbase 2wd. Back in the day, this sort of option was available with a number of 4wd models, to run in 2wd - the PB Mini Mustang was another that offered this option.
The wheels themselves are most likely narrow fronts to suit the Top Cat / Cougar... they'll fit on a 4wd though, if that's what you're looking for.

Skidmark - I think your wheels might be the chrome XLS ones with the 'chrome' removed I think you can still see some remains of the finish in the screw hole? - The original CAT wheels were the same smooth design but were black - the fronts were narrow - the same width as the 2wd.
Your wing buttons are missing another 'washer' type piece that fits over the part of the button that projects through the u/side of the wing - this locates the pin which in turn the O-ring bands are wrapped around
1. I finally got some Diamond Shaped Wing Buttons, but Ive read about Large, and Small ones. Tell me how to figure out which I have, and which is Older.
2. I have #6183 Wing, is that Proper for an Edinger?
3. What kind of Wire do I need for it?...

the big ones are big! lol
the small ones use a 4-40 set screw, these use like a 6-32 i think, much larger screw
Will the B2 buggy wing mounting kit fit in the gold pan chassis and vintage wing?
I'm looking for more function then car correct.

the b2 wing wire is too narrow at the rear compared to the width of the rc10 wing tubes. because of that, where ever you mount the wing on the wire, that's where it's gonna stay. you won't be able to move it front or back.
Looking to find out what originally came on the kyosho 1/8 scale inferno for body and wing. I need one to put in with the project box so someday I can finish this one up.
I look on ebay and find the burns from TBG (ugh) and it says for the inferno...

OK some of my older posts maybe missing links. I thought you were talking about my gallery.
I fixed the missing pictures.
HELLO EVERYONE. I HAVE JUST RECIEVED MY FIRST RC-10 WITH A MIP 4WD CONVERSION. THERE IS NO TENTION PULLY. I HAVE SEEN A FEW DIFFERENT PULLY STYLES. ONE THAT COMES UP FROM THE CHASSIS AND ONE THAT MOUNTS TO THE SIDE WHERE THE NOSE TUBE IS. THE BELT...

Yes, it was on fEbay but in Oregon. Had a grey RC-10T Jeep or Hummer body.
Yeah that sucked for me! I live 10 minutes from Damascus, and probably grew up with that guy. It's a veeeery small town.
Recently acquired this in a collection I bought. I've only ever seen their com lathes and tire lathes. Never heard of one of these. Searched for a while and came up with nothing. Some kind of motor conditioner. Seems to work fine, not sure of what...

Looks like a real nice piece! Alot of dough back then for a red light.
I'm in the middle of my 6016 build and have put the (bottom loading) shocks together as per the manual (to the letter). However, the front shocks are rough/tough when compressed and do not spring back fully. They are far from smooth. When I put them...

Thanks for all the advice. I took the shocks apart and filed the centre hole in the nylon washers a little wider as well as applied some green slime to the o rings. The shocks are now as smooth as can be......
So, I decided to bust into the Stealth in one of the 10Ts I recently purchased. When the truck first arrived I of course gave it a once-over and grabbed the spur to see how the diff felt. Well, it wasn't real promising so I put the whole thing away...

You guys got me thinking about issues like this... in a b3 transmission I bought with a buggy a while back, I cracked it open last night and I found out there were no bushings or bearings in the the diff :shock: WTF :roll: Just thought I'd share...
