Can anyone identify a front wheel for me?

Recommended Posts

Hey all... not too sure what brand this is, but was wondering if it rings a bell with anyone...

I recently picked up a bunch of bits from an OLD car, not too sure if they're all together or not, but they are interesting. With the bits came a set of front wheels with tyres. The tyres are roughly 2 3/4" (67cm) in diameter, with five fairly tall ribs, and around them they have the words "Sand Super"... wheel is molded dark brown or black, with eight holes, four for phillips head screws (with captive nuts on the other side), four straight through... axle runs on what looks like bronze bushings.

As for the rest, there is a metal frame, a spine that looks like an old belt channel that everything bolts onto, a light plastic radio box in a sort of Y shape, a metal roof about 3 1/2" by 3" with the sides rounded down, and a strange cantilever-style suspension bulkhead...

I know this probably doesn't help much, but I have no digital camera available at the moment...

One other thing, the whole thing has a smell of nitro fuel... may be an old gas buggy...

Any guesses with pictures (or links) I will check out... correct identification wins you the adulation of the whole universe...

Thanks...

Alex

Sand Super = KYOSHO

From the description it sounds like one of the earlier "circuit 1000 " series - ie - the Assasin or Assault etc.

Really hard without pics though.

You're close Darryn... really close...

This auction seems to shed a lot of light on the bits I have...

Looks like what I have is bits of a Kyosho Baja West-Coast Circuit 10 R/C Car Kit.... if anyone is looking for parts or doing a resto, talk to me!!!

I tell a lie... the two auctions below show that I was not EXACTLY correct...

It's actually a Kyosho Wildcat Circuit 10 car. I have the roll cage, bonnet, front and rear arms, backbone, shocks, front tyres, etc etc... Talk to me if you need them. Lord knows I don't.
