RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

OK guys, I just won this set of 5 sets of new tyres, listed as various, some I reckon I recognise, but will know better once they turn up, meantime any ids are welcome, I know how you like new vintage rubber so...

Fourth pic down are Hot Shot and equivalent tires. More specifically two rears and three fronts.

Cheers, i have seen the single row fronts, and the square peg ones on something before can't recall what

Cool, some of those look nice and new too.
Pic 1 - Yokomo Hot Laps
Pic 2 - Yokomo fronts on the left (off early YZ?) and Schumacher full spike rears on the right
Pic 3 - More Yokomos
Pic 4 - Tamiya Oval Blocks - as already said Hot Shot, Boomerang, Big Wig, etc
Pic 5 - Schumacher rib spike fronts and spike rears (sometimes called cut spikes) Top Cat era
I just want virtual points for getting them right if you already know what they are!

I had no idea, they ticked 3 boxes, vintage-ish new and timbo price $10 a set or so

I had tires the same as pic one, they were team associated. (had their name written on them) I just sold the fronts to Marvin. (Bimdapogs)

First pic is Yoke Hotlaps TF9/TR9- 2.0"9 (option tire) *same as AE TQ20*

Second is a Yoke Hotlaps TF8 (870/yz10) -2.0" and a shumacher that I am not familiar with


Third is Yokomo hotlaps TR32/TF32 2.2" (werks 91/C4)

If there was an Encyclopedia for vintage RC, it was put out of print by this site, cheers guys

That Schumacher style came out around the same time as the original CAT. In fact all that was moulded on the sidewall on early versions was Schumacher and C.A.T.

Used to run them on grass tracks a lot in the UK, the original compounds became known as blue when they started introducing other compounds and was the hardest wearing.
Schumacher still make them now, but pretty much no one runs them anymore as the minispike is the one to have for grip.
