Jonny Retro 12 Posted February 8, 2009 IIRC, pin spikes were an optional / hop-up part that appeared just after the Hotshot, later making an appearance in the Super Shot kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loaded 4 Posted February 8, 2009 Egress front and rear, available as a hop up for the Avante, but you would need 4 rears to make it fit. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_Truck 1 Posted February 8, 2009 They look like manta ray tyres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loaded 4 Posted February 8, 2009 Definitely not Manta Ray. Manta Ray tyres are the same all round for a start and have fewer spikes horizontally. Egress tyres, for sure. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HunterZero 76 Posted February 9, 2009 My Falcons wearing those tyres Original Falcon tires/wheels are a smaller diameter, and are the same tires as the Thunder Shot. Super Shot spike tires have conical spikes in them. They're the same tires as used on the Avante. - James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HereBeMonsters 9 Posted February 9, 2009 My spare Bear Hawk has these on the back. Better than the originals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bearhawk_Boy 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Like mentioned they can be fitted to Manta Ray front and backs, Bearhawk, Saint Dragon and Madcap rears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loaded 4 Posted February 9, 2009 Hi there. Sorry to be pedantic, but no, they really won't. The Bear Hawk front wheels are too small, the Manta Ray wheels are all the same size (these are not) and the spikes are different. These are Egress tyres which will also fit the Avante with Hop up wheels, or just the rears will fit the Avante. All sorts of tyres might 'fit' other cars, but they aren't the 'right' tyres. Mechinyun, what is +1, please :-) Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
civilguy 1 Posted February 9, 2009 Paul-- the "+1" means that Mechinyun agrees with your statement that he quoted. It's similar to saying "ditto" or "yeah, what he said". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they fit, why shouldn't they be used? Do you want pics of them on some Bear Hawk rears? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loaded 4 Posted February 9, 2009 The question was whay tyres are these from, not for. Bearhawk has since edited his reply I think, so I should have quoted him, but he stated these tyres would work on a Manta Ray front and Rear and Bear Hawk fronts also. They won't. The Bear Hawk wheels on the front are smaller and the Manta Ray wheels are the same width front and rear, whereas these tyres aren't. It really doesn't matter what they will fit, the question as stated was what are they from. They are from an Egress. If you are still unsure, look at the box, or the reference material here on Tamiyaclub.com. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loaded 4 Posted February 9, 2009 Yes, Lars has a nice website :-) Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larbut 4 Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks Paul, You can all find tire / wheel info for the first 100 Tamiyas here: CLICKY And the Hybrid Spike tire (rear) is here: CLICKY -Lars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loaded 4 Posted February 10, 2009 This is the only such reference I am aware of on the web. We should all have a look at Lars' website, as there are some superb nuggets of information there, along with tips, tricks and photos I haven't seen elsewhere. You will find the Egress front (narrow) hybrid tyres are a plenty, whilst the 58040 rears are much harder (and therefore more expensive) to find due to the fact they were used as a hop up on the Avante and on other cars and often in 4s (2 pairs). Generally speaking you will find collectors and other deviants, like me (!) are quite pedantic about such matters, as it does actually matter when displaying older models that you get the right parts, even when running them for the authentic look. Personally I find nothing wrong with running a car with incorrect tyres that fit, but from a point of view of reference, it is important to start from the right position ;-) Keep up the good work lars!

The only reason I said that was becasue I have a set of them tyers in Yellow and they fit the BH fronts fine, sorry if I confused anybody but I though I said Manta Ray Back and Fronts and Bearhawk Backs - But nevermind its sorted now again sorry for any confusion I might have casued, Im always doing that but its just normally me that gets confused lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
