Stock 1/8th T wheels, where, when, how? I need some.

Email me I just listed a set of 5 spoke mags and a set of steel wheels brand new from a big tub kit they are the same. except the steelies are orange and i have new tires also. The mags come with 3 styles of center caps from the big deuce and steelies have baby moons. Aseida6@Gmail.com or text don't call 2674014828 that's the quickest.

Howdy Doc, I really don't know what you have formulated in your mind but I would suggest that if you are going to build a retro Salty, rather than chase all over gathering bits and pieces and paying postage on parts......shop around for a 3 'n 1 "T" kit.

Problem solved...it has the steelies, spun aluminum wheel discs, skinny rubber, body etc.
As an added perk you will have all the other goodies you will need....spindles, QC rear and all those other little bits as well.
By the way, although there is no mention of it in the directions there's also a floor pan from the old Big Drag in the box...probably was on the die R/M cast the kit from. You know how that goes, it was probably cheaper for R/M to just leave it rather than make a new die.

Hey Doc. Send me a list of what you need and I'll see what I have here. I've been doing a lot of aircraft lately so I may have the extra car parts you need.

Good suggestion on going with the 3. In 1 I'm just suprised at the prices people are asking its like they shot up over night

Same old case of the buyer beware......when the kits came out a lot of guys bought them with the 40% Off Hobby Lobby coupon (no postage), sat on them 'til the supply ran out and then listed them on evil bay at retail plus postage and that magic number they call "handling".

They nickle and dime out the parts or sell the kits at a profit.......sucks but that's the name of the game if the intention is to make coin.....such is life.

I bought 3 myself using the coupons but they went into the parts box for trade or stuff to send to my buds. I only ask that they cover the "actual" postage to them.

The stuff I see lately is well above retail.I agree I feel guilty parting the big tub kit out but I need to get the cash to get my rc ebay business off the ground again and I got it at a price. Where I can make the 35 I need. Once that is made I wont even want to do it again and if the parts go to someone that needs them it'll make me feel a little better i guess. I'm surprised I havnt found a job yet ive put in 25+ Apps I never had this problem im also willing to swap parts if any one is looking for a part they need before I list them

Hey guys- I'm not Doc and I'm certainly not a mind reader, but I think he's asking for wheels that were stock on a real model T, not late hot rod wheels that are box-stock for the model.

If that's the case, here's the only thing I know of:

Lee, perhaps that's the case, but I doubt it.
These are "stock" 1925 T wheels.

[Deuces-wild]

That old T kinda makes me want to go visit the Henry Ford Museum here in town.... And take lots of pictures!

Maybe the front wheels from the Pocher Fiat F2?

Those are the only 1/8 scale wood spoke wheels I can think of.

Try building your own. Here is a link to how I built mine,

Start at page 21 and follow up through to even build the tires. Even if you only build one use it as a master to cast the others.
