Well, there you go! Old post, but thought I would share this pic I came across if anyone was curious. Looks like they were produced by Sees for TMS. I would guess the wheels I have that fit the Monster Beetle are the same. Pretty interesting.
I guess I'll clean them up a little bit more. Maybe do the centers gold?

I have a set of those, I was wondering who made them. Wide fronts for the Ultima...I guess it was for the JG truck conversion.

Look like Proline Wide fronts for an RC10 or JRX2. P/N 2557 for the RC10 fronts. JRX2 I think were 2556?

Is this a Associated RC1?

Well the wheels looks to be the early silver colored Associated that came with the RC1.

I've seen the auction with the chassis pictures. It's absolutely filthy but looks like an RC1 as far as I can tell. I always look at the stamped metal engine mounts.

It's an eBay auction if anybody is interested I can post a link, it's not mine. I have since verified with an online friend in the UK that it's a RC1, he said he has 3 complete cars in very good complete shape and is going to sell one to me with a vintage Kraft radio. He hasn't given the price but said he would give me a great deal on one. What do these RC1 cars sell for normally? The one I posted a picture of is at 1k!

I think the market is high right now from the few cars I've seen sell recently. That car could clean up well but I feel I've seen much cleaner examples sell for less than that car is already at.
