RC10 B2/3 wheels Shapeways 3D printed as used at 95 Worlds

Ok, thanks to Niki the wheels as displayed on the first proto plastic see through chassis of the 91 Worlds proto that has yellow flat wheels with a big wheel nut hole. Now I know a company in Europe made these (possibly in Sweden) and I got my hands on several sets before the worlds happened as at the time was in line to do it but when I was asked I actually couldnt go due to how expensive Japan is so had to turn it down which I now regret.

However another regret was getting rid of these wheels later on as they made the car look so much nicer, so asked Niki if he could work his magic and do a 3d print and he has.

Pictures below show the rear wheel next to an original B2 version, also with the wheel nut cap (which has a tiny flat spot for a fine screw driver to lift it off) and then on my car with and without the wheel nut cap. I used pink wheel stickers on my car when I ran it, to blend in with the dragon and worked very well for me. Ok cost is a but high however for a shelfer I think its worth every penny, just need to drill the hole a fraction and cut away the wheel cap from behind the wheel and its a perfect fit and stunning. Your thoughts on this as always are always appreciated.

Do you plan to run these? I'm curious how they would hold up on track.

I may do one day, they do feel almost as strong as the kit versions,these have a better webbing strength in the original designcompared to the original kit wheels so may be up to the job.
