I have found lots of front RC10 wheels made by Associated in black. But no rears in black yet. I just wanted to check - did they make rears in black? (For the buggy, NOT the truck).

Thanks

Three piece, one piece, truck and buggy, front and rear were all made in black, yellow, and natural at one point. Just add a "B" or a "Y" to the part number for the colors

Thanks!

I have some 2.175" front three piece on the way now. So the front is sorted. I guess I can put 2.2" tyres on there as it is almost the same size.

Rears...

But if I wanted three piece rears it seem the TQ10 rear wheels were only 2". So I guess that limits me to ancient expensive tyres?

Or I could go for modern 2.2" B2 rear wheels as I already have spare B2 universal joints. Did the B2 rims come in black too?

yes, b2/b3 wheels are/were available in black. alternatively, you could dye white or yellow wheels black.

you can also use losi step pin 2.0" tires on tq rims:

you can also buy JC racing wheels that are 2.2" and fit on 1/4" axles, though they are 5 spoke. EDIT: Nevermind, I think you already have those based on pics in your other thread.

Thanks, very helpful !

Yes I am going for flush original aero / dished style wheels now. But they have to be black. Fronts are sorted. Whatever black rears pop up for sale I'll just get the correct tyres / UJs to match. Thanks again.

I wanna say there were some black buggy rears (not sure if 3 pc or not) in the b/s/t section awhile back. Would be at least on page 2 by now if not pruned. Can't remember who but remember thinkin I should pick them up before someone else did since I don't see black rear wheels as much as black front wheels. Might be worth a shot checkin some older forsale threads though...

Thanks but those have sold. If the buyer is not going to use them I'll pay a bonus



Does anyone know what REAR axle / wheel hole size the TQ10 has?

do you mean tq wheels, or the horizon TQ10 (rc10 buggy)?

in either case, they fit 1/4" axles.

I think its a 1/4 inch hole

no, the hole through is the size of a #8 thread OD, 0.164", or somewhere close to that. Then you have the taper on the reverse side that goes up to 1/4" in the pin area.

Thanks guys.

I am going to hold out for B2 wheels as I have a load of new MIP B2 CVDs now.
