Found this lurking in a box with a few other bits of aluminum goodness. I have not one clue. Made by See's BTW, if you had to ask.

The top 2 are the same, a front side and back side, bottom 2 same way.

could they be adapters to mount clod rims/tires onto a 2wd kyosho truck?

Sorry, I should have put something in there to show the size of 'em. The adapter lookin things are approx 1 5/8" diameter while the caps are 7/8" diameter. Defo not for clod wheels. Too large.

Would Wild Willy 1 front bearings fit inside those adapters? That's what I first thought of, but the 5 bolt pattern threw me off....
Did other buggies use those giant bearings inside the front wheels?

damn, 1 5/8"? that's pretty big.

how 'bout for the big brute rims? they had a rim with a large 5 bolt pattern, no?

I am not sure. I don't see that any standard size bearings would fit in these.... At least nothing that Tamiya or Kyosho would use. It almost looks like 1/8 scale size, but there is no drive hex machined into it or anything....

that's kinda throwing me off too.... there's no hex or crosspin.

about what size is the rear axle opening?

brandon, i'm 99.9% sure they're for a 1/4 car. in my spring '90 "stock car" rcca issue, there's a 1/4 scale car with a set of sees rims. the center caps look just like the ones you pictured. there's no good pics of the adapters, but they look to be the same.

here's a quick scan....

Yup, you found em Jay.

you da man...

Great detective work, Jason!

any squirrel kind find a nut every once in awhile.

the funny thing is that's the only issue of rcca that i have.
