Not sure about the chassis, but that Bluehead McCoy probably dates from the late 60s, MAYBE very early 70s..the servo kinda dates it too...

Lots of wheels collected through the years, some other came with parts lots. Which cars use these wheels? 2nd picture showing back side of wheels. Left wheel in third row is alloy wheel.

#12 also looks like the B2/B3 wheel...did the TQ10 use the same wheel or I am I just wrong on that?

Thanks guys. :wink:
Regarding wheel #8, this is 1/10 scale same size as large offroad wheels.

Some additional wheels. Green wheel is HPI Super Star I think but not sure which trucks could use that.
Red and yellow wheels seem made for a Yokomo but not sure of make.

Finally three black wheels. Left wheel was in a box with tires for my RC10 which was sold around 1989 or 1990 so that age. Right wheel could be YZ-10 but is this original Yokomo or aftermarket? Lots of time gone since I raced offroad so some things I don´t remember. #2 at this picture I don´t remember at all.

I believe that wheel might be a Graupner aftermarket wheel, I have seen it before.

Yellow BBS wheel was LRP for the YZ-10. Green HPI looks like a universal fit monster truck wheel (Blackfoot, JRXT, RC10 conversions, etc.). Single white wheel to the right looks like a JC Racing wheel for the RC10.

Firts black wheel is for a Tamiya Thundershot, don't know what the middle is, and the third is a Keil for Yokes.

Back to the first pic....the white truck wheels I said might be Traxxas might instead be Trinity Baja series truck conversion wheels.

Wish I could help you with those but I don't recognize them. :? Remind me a little of Phoenix wheels but I don't think they made yours.

I got a 2nd cc rc10 chassis from my LHS and noticed that it's about 1/2" shorter than the original. Anyone know anything about a short version ?
