Custom made wheels??????
does anyone know anywhere Ican get a set of custom wheels made, perferably not aluminum but could be, I can't find any aftermarket wheels that fit vintage Tamiya Bruser hubs, and for what I'v found good stock ones for I feel that Icould have a custom set made or a custom set of hubs to utilize regular 2.2, 1.9 or 1.5 wheels for that matter, any info would help being as Google came up nill</p> |

Don't know about totally custom, but check out RC4WD.com, they have lots of higher end rims.

Ihad been looking at their site and they have nothing that works with the Vintage axels, they did offer a set of adapters to use T-maxx wheels but are out of stock and don't know when or if they will get more in according to the e-mail one of my friends recived in reply to his inquire about them, but thank you

RE: Custom made wheels??????
the issues with those (which Ihad surched multipul times befor I posted anything) is that the Vintage Bruiser uses 3 screws to hold the wheel to the hub and hot a single nut (which all those do)
here's the 2 rims I have and knotace the 3 screw holes in out from the center, they are how the rims mount to the hubs http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/r...d/IMG0262A.jpg http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/r...d/IMG0264A.jpg |

Maybe you can get some hubs machined up that suit the more popular range of wheels, by a small engineering workshop.

Id definitely look into getting some sort of hub conversion.. If you pay to have a custom set of wheels made, and something happens, you'll be in the same boat your in now.. If ya come up with a way to convert the hubs to generic 2.2 or whatever, you'll have a vast selection of wheels to choose from! I saw in the back of a RC magazine, there was an ad for custom rc machine work.. The site was http://www.stlcustomhobbies.com/If ya have the money and time, maybe look into that? Best of luck and be sure and take lots of pix if ya start modding it!! Everyone loves a good mod story!! :D
