PSA - 2.2" Egress/Vanquish style wheels just announced from JC Products

[ThunderDragonCy 7877]

I am in no way affiliated with this shop, but i love what they are doing with 2.2" versions of vintage designs so you can run proper tyres. I have their Optima and Ultima pepperpot wheels on a couple of buggies. Just noticed on their Facebook they are now doing the classic tamiya lightweight wheel in 2.2

They look great! Didnt think white wheels would suit an Egress that well.

They do black and flouro yellow too. Possibly others in future

These open up the option of some Mini 4wd up-scales with slick tyres. Egress black special with fluoro yellow wheels. Saint Dragon with white wheels. Many more I’m sure.

any recommendations for slick tyres to fit? Always seems hard to find proline slicks in stock in the uk, even pre-COVID.

Not slick, but schumacher venom88 fit buggy 2.2" wheels. Proline Prime and Rawspeed do slicks, but not sure if they bring them into the uk.

Thanks for letting us know! Some gorgeous wheels on this shop's website, will totally keep it in mind hoping they ship outside of the UK

Related ... this found these replica Avante wheels in ebay the other day. What’s special about them? Three things:

- range of colours

- two widths (so a narrow version for fronts!

- small size for 1/32 Mini 4wd Avantes... brrrrmmmmm!

Thank you so much for the info, was dreaming about this already the last year, so cool that JC steps in produces this legendary wheel design for the Vintage friends! Unfortunately, Modelsport seems to ship not outside the UK at the moment...

Update: Mixed it up with Modelsport. JC Racing shop ships worldwide. Already placed an order for my  Avante squad buggies....
