My delivery from CTY300 arived (14days from HK)
So now I finaly got two pairs of the new HiCaps



will look very cool on my TF

Nice... they went out of stock at Banzai pretty fast.

Now that I have both sets I think they will be in stock soon at Tamico or Seidel.

Received my bunch of wheels/tyres today. Bit of a mixed bag...

A pair of Rough Rider front wheels with original tyres (with lettering) in pretty good condition.

Matching rear pair, also not too bad

Pair of Lancia rally rear wheels with good tyres - anyone interested in these? Wheels have been painted gold and are a bit chewed on the outer edge, but ptobably can be rescued.


Load of Sand Scorcher front and rear wheels with Padlatrak "slicks"
Some SS wheels with Hornet look-a-like tyres made by "Dynamite Racing"
Pair of gold Wild One wheels with flaking plating and knackered tyres.
A set of unidentified 8 spoke wheels (2 piece), 2 with "Goodyear" knobbly tyres. Kyosho maybe? Any ideas?


They all need attacking with the grafitti remover, but I'm generally pleased.

Aren't the 8-spokes Ranger/Pajero? - Maybe from that Marui jeep? (Y'know, the Wild Willy rip-off).
It might be worth cleaning up the Lancia wheels/tyres & Ebaying them, they don't come up often, so might make some money?
Can't tell from the pic, but are the screws Rough Rider wheels just slotted, or the normal phillips/slotted type? - if they're just slotted, it would suggest they were from the early mk1 version, & might appeal to someone looking for genuine mk1 bits.
I might yet bug you for a set of SS fronts+rears wheels+tyres if you have spares?

I thought the 8 spokes were Pajero/Ranger/Brat at first, but they're not. They're only 2 piece. I've been told they're Marui Jeep and I think that is right.


Re the SS wheels/tyres - I am sure I have some spares, but all the tyres I got are very worn (i.e. worn smooth)

I'll have a look at the RR wheels. Unless someone wants to give me silly money, I'll probably keep those.

Yeah, that's the Marui thing I was on about (God I'm good!). Makes me chuckle when they come up on Ebay with poor pics - bidding goes mental, I guess cos people think it's a Willy.

Yeah chewed wheels, bald tyres, wouldn't mind, just as long as the rubber's not falling to bits!

Yesterday's RC haul: December issue of RCCi, two Bruiser drivers, a pair of Boomerang rear shocks, and a split window to fit a Scorcher shell - it seemed like a good idea at the time, but the standard of fit is appalling

And yes - it came packed in a cassette box - it took me a few seconds to realise what it was

I suspect this used to be the XR311 I just bought, but I daren't open it...


It's probably just as well the sender hasn't put their address on it anywhere, or I'd be around there kicking some sense into them
