Where can i find these wheels?

[Scipunk]

Saw these on a TT02 page and i fell in love, can't find a name and my google fu is weak as i can't find them I will 3d print some if need be...lol

They are HPI turbo fans.

Dont buy the HPI Turbomacs - the offset is too great to fit under the lancia delta shell (sadly I know this through experience)

Really , that's a shame, how much bigger are they?

It says they have a 6mm offset but they poke out the sides of the arches too far and look a bit daft. I will take a photo of them when i get home from work. Its a shame as they are exactly what I wanted to replicate the speedline cooling disc fitted to the real rally deltas.

Just to add mine is an xv01 chassis but assume the tread width is the same as a tt02?

****, i am getting the XV-01 and now i am sad. I wonder if they can be replicated in 3d printing with a smaller offset? Pics would be great thanks! I suppose you could widen the archers some but on lexan that would be very tricky and end up ruining the classic lines

3d printing would work. If the wheels in your first photo are the HPI turbomacs then the chassis arms may have been reduced in track width? Or a thinner wheel hex maybe?

Who is the owner of that build? I would be really interested to now how they get it to look like that so i havent wasted £25 worth of wheels.

I think with a XV01 you can narrow the car with different wishbone mounts, so might not be a problem.

Oohh I wasnt aware of that - will check the manual when i get home. If you could lose approx 3mm of the track width each side then those wheels would probably fit.

I found it on a TT02 page on facebook, i ask ed him if he shortened the track to have them sit flush, the page it's called Tamiya TT02 Appreciation Area (UK)

I fitted mine to ta03 with a Escort cosworth body, I'll see if I can find a picture. Do stick out a bit but filled the body nice.

They should only be fitted on the front is to be accurate.

XV01 TC Pro can be reduced a good few mm using different suspension blocks and shorter drive shafts.

Well, having now had a second fit of them they are sort of growing on me. Maybe i was so used to seeing the normal wheels tucked under they looked weird at first.

Yeah that doesn't look bad at all,  also i love your mud flaps, do you have more pics of the car or a build thread?

[Superluminal]

No build thread but I can take some more pics tomorrow. The mud flaps were made from some plastic covers to a notepad i found in a cheapy news agents.

Awesome thanks! BTW the guy responded and showed me his also poke out with the covers on, so i guess it's just how they are
