Thanks for giving me a little more insight on the rims.

Smaller car is a Spital Trial-12

Ok, that's an oddball! I can't even find any references to it on the Internets. I did find a few other Spital cars though. Can you tell me how you know what this one is? Just curious.

...Its best not to question it.



But joking aside there was a beat one on ebay a while ago with an orange body. It had a 'buy it now' of $30 but apparently nobody wanted it as the seller kept relisting it over and over. They also had no idea what it was. I asked on here but nobody knew either. So I searched around on Tamiya Club and eventually came across it.

Wow, thanks for the links. Guess I didn't search hard enough. Then again I was supposed to be working. Certainly an odd little car. It will be interesting to see if I can find a body...

Yeah they seem to be pretty neat. I wouldn't mind picking up a nice example if I ever came across one. But then again rare and oddball R/C's are my favorite.

I picked these up CNC with hex fittings on all 4. they were listed as 1/10 in the car section, so I assumed sweet TC rims, turned out to be beautifully macjined 2.2 s with true beadlocks , anyone seen anything similar?

Ok, figured this one out. The bigger buggy in the picture is an MRC Vortex as described in the August 1998 RCCA:

Vortex! Thats right I forgot all about that thing.

purpletimbo, those are some crazy looking rims. I'm guessing that they're custom machined.

anyone knows which company made these aluminium rims for Schumacher Cat ??........

Looks like JPS! I need a set of rears for Losi or RC10. He doesn't apparently make buggy wheels any more.

Here's one I won earlier, 4WD 8 AAs and I recognise decals and paint scheme, thinking 1/14 FA Kyosho?

Doesn't look like kyosho 14th series, they looked less cartoonish iirc... plus I'm sure the bodies would be branded somewhere...

Turne out to be a Taiyo Turbo Grabber 4WD

I think they are Berg Beadlocks
