Apocalypse Cow Racing have sent us news of their new CNC'd billet aluminium wheels for the Tamiya Mini or similar, and some multi-spoked wheels for 1/10th touring car fitment. The mini wheels are especially gorgeous but come with a price to match their awesome looks. Made in England by Apocalypse Cow Racing, the wheels are available now but more products will follow depending on the success of these.

Hi guys
Thanks for your views all input is greatly appreciated good or bad.
We know the price is high the normal retail should be £120! for the Repooc
We hope with more runs we can reduce costs etc etc
Machine time is huge and the radius on the spokes are done with a 1mm ball tip (so my machinist tells me).
Anodizing will be an option in the future.
We are always on the lookout for new items to produce so if you know of something no one makes and theres a fair few of you after them give us a message and we will see what we can do.
All the best and happy racing
Joe
