I am trying to source a set of BVM 3.5 inch wheels and brakes and a brake unit for a 3.5 inch wheel.
Has anyone such items they may care to sell ?

As many friends as you have amassed on this forum and you want someone to give you access to probably the most difficult size BVM wheels/brakes as there are to find????

Best think again.....

It seems your rudeness and Springs endorsement were , to say the least, inappropriate.
A good friend of many years is supplying the wheels and at a very good price. They are on the way, just perfect !

Wish your friend had another pair, been looking for a set for months, good finding.

I think he does but not for sale.
The wheels have arrived and since Don included spare tyres and O rings my damaged unit is now “S “ and reinstalled in my Rotkoski Sabre. This new set is ready to install in my refreshed Avonds F 15.
As an insurance against being unable to get replacement BVM wheels I ordered a set of Xicoy wheels with electric brakes. They have arrived, beautifully made and mine came with 5 mm shafts, almost same as BVM.
So, if you are stuck, these wheels may well be the answer !

Appreciate the info.

Thanks.

Well, yet more changes !
I had an email from Gaspar this morning, various news !
Sadly , Xicoy will be withdrawing from wheel production to concentrate on engine production. A real shame with such high quality products and with BVM out of production, too.
The good news is that two new engines will be produced, a 66 a slightly enlarged and considerably more powerful version of the 45 and later this year a 225.
Having 5 of Gaspars engines, I am sure these new engines will be winners.
Plus ca change !

David;

I was not aware that Xicoy had it's own brand of wheels.

Does this mean that Electron is down-sizing/ closing, as all my retracts/ wheels/ brakes come from the Electron brand, which I understand is also owned by Gaspar?

I converted my Bandit with BVM Landings to electric with JP pistons and wheel with brakes, work fine.

Electron is owned by Xoel Montenegro Dios--not Gaspar--and is not going anywhere, downsizing or closing. JAG RC is still the US importer.

Thanks Jenni - I appreciate the clarification.

Carlos, Perhaps you could show, explain, the installation, it sounds good.
I received another pair of BVM wheels, 3 1/4, from a friend yesterday, but they are not “braked”. Perhaps your idea could convert them !
otherwise they are just nosewheels, perfect scale for this Rotkoski Sabre on which the Sullivan wheel is just too small.
