Thanks. Maybe someone knows the other wheels no. 2, 4, 6, 8 and the no. 11 aluminium wheels?
Found one more wheel and tire. I think this might be Tamiya as well.

Tamiya Holiday Buggy.
I might be wrong on 13...they may be Triumph wheels instead of Lazer/Inferno. Also I know I've seen the alloy wheels before but can't place them.

I'm gonna say XXT, to shallow of an offset for the LXT/10T. All the others, you nailed them.

As we're talking about wheels... bought these gorgeous alloy ones probably a decade ago, and they'll be the start of a new RC10 project that I finally have time and energy to tackle
what are they? (I'm pretty sure I knew what they were when I bought them bitd...

1/4 rear axle)
thanks!

Pretty cool motor. Never seen a 552 but MRP used 550 for their Roar approved stock motors and 551 for their modified motors. I'd assume 552 is a step above those, but given that they're still using bushings they might have not been super hot winds. Maybe there was a 553 rank that used bearings.
It's an Igarashi based motor and they would've been used up until the early 80's

I'm guesstimating that by about '84 they were outclassed by the Yokomo and Kyosho/Trinity cans with replaceable brushes. There are members that have much better info on them than me though.
