    Hope this helps m8,

    I think the 1/1oth scale minilite wheels ur after are fitted to the TAMIYA mini, if u'v got an old catalogue lyin about find the code for a set of replacement mini wheels, they come in pairs and dnt usually include tyres. (i think its 7 or 9 digits long) and i reckon most gd model shops will b able to get thm.
    With regards to the 4 spoke revos, i dnt think they have been made 4 a specific car but u could get a blank "solid" or "dish" wheel and shape it to match a 4 spoke revo. thas what i had to do to make some Lotus-steels.
    Hope that helps m8 gd luck!

    Re: Wheels

    my advice is to ring up hamleys the big toy store in london, sounds stoopid but when i was running my RC's they were often the fastsest way to get spares and they aint that dear, they'll post the stuff to you next day, and they are really helpfull, ask to be put through to the RC counter, i did have the direct number but i cant find it, sorry.

    i was gonna use them on a 1/12th tamiya porsche 959 chassis with a mk1 escort 1/12th body

    I'v found the code and its actually 5 digits!

    its: 50569 which is a pair of mini cooper wheels (minilite reps)

    But this code came from an old catalogue, but i doubt TAMIYA would change it as the mini is still a popular model! ((assumin ur model is tamiya))
    Hope that helps

    Re: Wheels
