Wild one

[matman]

I have a set of wild one wheels & i was going to put a different wild one wheels on but it won't fit .

They don't have gold on it or around it , But it will fit the fox . Does anyone know what they are from ?

Both rims still say wild one on them like they always do .

Pic will show the differences .

You have early and late type Wild One wheels , they fit with different adapters .They were modified to make them stronger as wheel breakages were common

Ok thanks , so the one with the ring is the later one .

As i have alot of the other ones . The later one will fix the fox , but not the wild one .

The strengthening ribs are definitely the later style as the ribs are present on the Super Hornet rims.

After my original Wild One rears broke I have been using Super Hornet rims as they were easier to get. To make them fit I trimmed the strengthening ribs down so that they fit flush with the wheel adapter and they have been fine for running (after being painted white).

I had the opposite with an eBay Wild One in that the front wheels came with one with ribs and one without.

So if the super hornet rims have this , Why didn't you use the super hornet wheel adapters ? .

They are the same as the wild ones arn't they ?.<<<< yes they are as i have just looked . slightly different in looks as the super hornet are round & no cut out sections

Wild one adapters

But i have found some thing with the wheel adapters .

They have the name on them .

Now both look the same , But the name on one is

RCC WILD ONE 1 <<< small adapter

RCC WILD ONE 2 <<< old size .

No dates on them .

Funny how you see this type of stuff , Then you look into it . As i have found two New wheel adapters for my wild one NIP woohoo .

I didn't have any Super Hornet adapters at the time and I wanted to run the car the next day.

The slight size difference between the Super Hornet (smaller) and Wild One adapters (old kit before reinforcing?) that I have does mean that the adapters on my Wild One won't fit without either modifying the wheel or the adapter. I chose to modify the non-vintage part.

It is interesting that this might be yet another running change that Tamiya made during production of the kits. I was aware that the wheels with the reinforcing existed as a spare part, maybe they came with adapters to suit as some of the other wheels did at the time (I have not paid any attention).

I would be interested if anyone has seen Fox wheels (either kit or spare parts) with the reinforcing as none of the sets that I have had pass through my hands I have had it.

I only have ONE set that does & i have a fair few of the 1st one . Not even in the fox i have seen this , I will look at the falcon as well maybe .

Well i have just looked in an old tamiya catalog & yes it came with adapter , BUT it was in white

2WD Oval Block Tire Rear With Wheel 5256

2WD Pin Spike Tire Rear With Wheel 5257

But the Falcon Rear Tire With Wheel ( 5288 ) comes with Black adapters like wild one , Like i said B4 the other two comes with the adapter But it is white .

Now saying all this don't mean that they are smaller , as it don't say . haha .
