[lost?]

sign me up....where do i get some?

[brian s]

if there is enough interest in the wheels ( either in procat/xls/bosscat , yokomo yz10 or 12mm hex tamiya ?) i could ask whether a batch of them could be produced.
should`nt be a problem to change the colour of the anodising also

[Peakey]

:o:o:o:drool::drool::drool:

For the right price buddy I would have at least a set!!

[RJJ]

Definitely interested as well.

Just need to know price and would like a different colour, yz10 for me.

[brian s]

i`ll have to ask what the price would be, will find out tomorrow

[xfactor]

I would also have a schumacher set in red please. Dependent on price though.

[kaszal]

Tempting, might be interested in a set for the Procat depending on price.

[Retro RC]

:drool::drool::drool: yes please I'd take 2 Schumacher sets in black with polished edge depending on price:thumbsup:

[mporter2000]

Me too price dependent

[brian s]

how does £35 a set sound

[lost?]

how does £35 a set sound
ill have a set for £35. schumacher fitment in blue please.

[fakiee]

£35 is a good price, id take a set - blue anodised or raw

[RJJ]

£35 is fine for me for a yz10 fitment and in a blue anodised finish.

May take a Tamiya set as well if any are being produced.

[DanB4]

I'll take a set for £35 too

[brian s]

if the fitment for a tamiya is 12mm hex then yes they can be done.
i`ll ask about the anodising colours but would expect that they would need to be done in batches ie 5 sets of black, 5 sets of gold etc.

[isobarik]

Would love to have a set for My cat

Med vänlig hälsning, isobarik

[lost?]

if the fitment for a tamiya is 12mm hex then yes they can be done.

keep us posted when you find out :thumbsup:

[brian s]

to get an idea of what to order can you let me know how many sets and what colour you would require and what fitment and i will pass it on to get them made.

[DerbyDan]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/DerbyDan/IMG_0001_zpsaxzscrlz.jpg

I picked up this rather nicely painted 'Fat Cat' body - & thought a set of your wheels would set it off a treat (once mounted). Gold wheels would clash with the yellow, but blue or red would pick out those elements on the shell.

Lets go with red!:cool:

[NeilRalph77]

Is there a narrow 2wd Schumacher front option?

[Stu Dixon]

Blue set for a Lazer zxr for me if you could add me to the list.

[lost?]

if i can get a list of requirements by friday the sets will be ordered this weekend
Did you find out what colours he can do?
if as you said no more batches will be made i may take a second set in a different colour ;)

[brian s]

Is there a narrow 2wd Schumacher front option?


no 2wd option, when i asked to get the sets in the photo made i supplied some 4wd wheels as patterns. i did`nt have any 2wd wheels.

[brian s]

black, gold, red, blue, purple

[Retro RC]

1 Schumacher set in black please:thumbsup: I have a UK address to use so no international postage required

[brian s]

will not post outside of the UK, price of wheels does NOT include post or paypal fee, ( probable post cost about £2-50)

[rylance1878]

Hi I would have a set for kyosho optima mid ,have you put order in and can you choose colour or if easier I would have set of what colour is best for the supplier and can paint my shell to suit thanks
Alan

[DanB4]

Yep UK postage for me too even though it says Muscat as my location.

[Welshy40]

Brian,

Ok now youve got me tempted but not for wheels. Can he do knuckle arms for my Lazer as i need a redesign?

[brian s]

hi james, if you have an original that can be used as a pattern then probably yes

[Welshy40]

hi james, if you have an original that can be used as a pattern then probably yes

Yes ive got a pair of original cast zx ones, however i need the two inner kin pin holes countersunk so i can put a screw from within the knuckle so a nyloc nut can hold it in place at the top and bottom. Getting fed up with losing kin pins and castor block bearings. I can send you a pair after Christmas so pm me your address. Thanks.

[brian s]

james can you p`m me a photo of the knuckle arms so i can show wayne

[Welshy40]

Not a problem, will do tonight.

[Welshy40]

Brian,

Couldn't PM you this so had to do via this thread. Hope this helps, otherwise ive got a used pair that I can send your way. Arrows point to the inner end thread within the hub, they are what I need counter sunk, only two holes but have gone a little ott with the arrows. This way with the countersunk holes I can avoid the drive shaft hitting the screw head.

[brian s]

james, so you want knuckles made with the kingpin holes csk in the bore ?

[Welshy40]

james, so you want knuckles made with the kingpin holes csk in the bore ?

Basically yes, since you and i raced together as you know cars got a lot faster and the king pins keep coming out which is doing my nut in, by doing this means i should resolve the issue. Question is is it plausible?

[brian s]

depends on how many were to be made its more a case of would it be cost effective as a one off.
wayne still cant post on the forum which means i`m passing messages back and for, hopefully he will have access soon so can answer questions himself

[rylance1878]

Hi Brian ,have we any indications how far off the alloys are ,as looking forward to them thanks
Alan

[fakiee]

£35 is a good price, id take a set - blue anodised or raw

Can I take a set for YZ10 blue if possible?

Thanks!

Brian,

Cost shouldnt be too expensive for a left and a right knuckle arm once off, and once ive got that getting a mold made and copied in strong plastic is my plan.

[HKS_TRD]

i will ask at the local post office about cost of shipping to australia .

Any luck on the postage price, I'm in the city if Adelaide in the state of South Australia

Hello All - AT LAST!

I am Wayne Edmunds the engineer who is responsible for the design and manufacture of the bespoke wheels provided and displayed at the start of this thread by Brian S in his "shelf queen project" post, I have ordered all the wheels for you guys and have images of progress which will be posted in a link.
I am new to RC racing and started it thanks to Brian and Martin S who got my 12 year old interested but now we are all hooked, including my 18 year old who could not be left out, so the 3 of us have great fun racing very Friday and we try to "take it very seriously" with our 3 stock hobby king vandals!

It has been real grief getting to join this forum and finally using my fourth Email edmundsdesigns1 works, so finally I can be part and do my fair share of the promotional effort with the aim to provide some fun and well conceived bespoke parts to the RC community.

To take some of the effort off Brian`s shoulders any questions can be posed here or for a faster response directly to my Email address [email protected]

The Cloud link to where the wheel progress images will appear "as i get them" is below please check it regularly which save me having to post progress.

thanks W

[HKS_TRD]

Can we confirm the order list to make sure no one misses out or gets the wrong color and/or fitment

[edmundsdesigns1]

as requested

Wayne

[edmundsdesigns1]

what fitting is bosscat?

[edmundsdesigns1]

Please note that full payment including any applicable shipping costs will be expected before the despatch of goods, we will provide full images and proper "prove out" with test fitting and clarity on the delivered quality standard before requesting your payment

thanks for your understanding

Wayne

[brian s]

hi wayne, see you finally managed to post on the forum.
procat / bosscat / cat xls fitting is the schumacher lug type.

[edmundsdesigns1]

Ok Cheers Brian

i can let wayne have a predator wheel to use as a pattern if he wants to get some made.

[Mr Satchell]

That would be great if Wayne is up for it.

That would be great if Wayne is up for it.
Hello Mr Satchell,

Its all possible and I could get a bespoke set made for your predator, but this task needs design and modelling time as well as that to arrange the quote, order, manage machine shop and then shipment and i am afraid one set could end up quite costly, unless there is wider interest as was found by Brian and this ordered batch of wheels.

Please let me know how you care to proceed, if you want a price for unique set or prefer to use the forum and a new thread to determine the interest .. . . Or give me a PM >?
W

[brian s]

i`ll give wayne a pred wheel tomorrow, would be nice to have a set for mine as well

[edmundsdesigns1]

That would be great if Wayne is up for it.

Dear all, The shared wheel images are at

https://files.mycloud.com/home.php?brand=webfiles&seuuid=7e17d1bf54c96dbfd456eec108082e2d&name=OOPLE

The location of the folder that contains wheel updates plus some sub folders of items I am toying with, the largest hi res file (lo res attached) is 6 Meg and should take a second with fast net connection, the lower resolution images will open at the mycloud site others need right click & downloading as Peakey suggested

A true 50Mb/s download connection is:
50 Meg bits per second or 6.25 Megabytes, so about one second to download that file

Hi Mate, not far away they are all machined and i have images of the gold anodised wheels added to my shared cloud location, the other colours are now being finished. I cant wait to see the deeper contrast of black and silver personally think that and the blue will be striking!

Wow they look amazing, I better hurry up and build the car they are slated for!
Are there any surplus Kyosho hex, tempted to get a set in a different color.
If there is a second run of these I wouldn't mind another set in all blue without the silver sections for another project or maybe all gold.
Thanks so much for making this happen.

I was wondering, what is the wheel offset based on and is it the same front and rear

[DerbyDan]

They look amazing.... gotto say, the purple ones look especially nice!:drool:

[Retro RC]

Damn wish I had ordered a set of schumies in purple now to they look awesome👍

Hi Wayne

[DerbyDan]

Hi Wayne, just checking if your price of £41.84/£40.50 includes the £5.50 postage + packing charge or do we have to add it to the total?

Many Thanks

[brian s]

1st set of the batch fitted to my works 92, ordered the purple ones but after seeing all the colours wish i had ordered the blue as well and maybe the red
i had to remove any burrs from the square wheel adaptors on the car before fitting as the wheels are a very snug fit

Checked in and replied Wayne :)

[DerbyDan]

I received my wheels today (Schumacher fitment in red) - all I can say is WOW! They look awesome!! :cool: :thumbsup:

Can't wait to try them out on my ProCat... will get some photos up as soon as possible! ;)

Edit; Photos added - trial fit onto my ProCat.

Received mine yesterday, Kyosho fittment in blue, pics don't do them justice they look amazing. The offsets aren't quite right for Kyosho though, the rear wheels need to sit further out for a Lazer (Lazer has less offset on the front wheels) or all four will sit too far in compared to standard on a Mid.
Any chance of having a pair of rears made with the correct offset, otherwise I'll find a way to space them out for my shelfer

I can make this work on the next order but will Need Brian S advice on exactly where the dimensions are different.

I am glad your happyish!

So how long till the next order is going ahead would like to get a Schumacher set in purple this time :thumbsup:

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with them and I anticipated this may have happened as per an earlier post.
I may be able to take some measurements next week with a set of verniers against ZX-R wheels and confirm how the alloy wheels compare both front and rear

i did`nt have any kyosho wheels to give wayne to take measurements off, have since found a set of 12mm hex wheels that may be correct for kyosho but not sure, so here are the measurements
front wheels
10mm outer edge of rim to centre face
13.5mm inner edge of rim to centre face
rear wheels
10mm outer edge of rim to centre face
21.5mm inner edge of rim to centre face

anyone have a set of kyosho wheels for comparison ??

[HKS_TRD]

Were those 2.2" Kyosho wheels or 2"
The ZX-R 2.2" wheels are a different offset to the modern ZX-5 which has longer suspension arms.
The measurement we need to take is from the back face to the base of the hex cutout.
I'll measure a set of wheels I have here on the weekend if I can get some verniers otherwise will do on Monday when I visit my mechanic

[HKS_TRD]

I have taken some measurements, they are all from the rear face to the base of the hex, there is a little error in absolute values but they paint a clear picture of how they compare

Front Standard 21.5 mm
Front CNC 21.3mm

Rear Standard 27.5mm
Rear CNC 30.5 mm

So it seems the rears need to sit 3mm further out. I didn't compare the overall width of the wheels.
This extra offset can either be achieved by building up the hex area or giving the wheel face a deeper dish

[HKS_TRD]

Has anyway else installed these on a Kyosho buggy yet?

[rylance1878]

Hi yes I fit mine onto my kyosho lazer zxr and yes the rears are wrong

[HKS_TRD]

Hi yes I fit mine onto my kyosho lazer zxr and yes the rears are wrong

OK good to know it wasn't just me.
So is there going to be another run so a correct pair of rears can be made.
Also, even though I double checked my measurements I think there needs to be more than 3mm of additional offset.

[brian s]

i`ll speak to wayne about the wheels on friday, need to ask whether he is going to get some predator ones done as well

[edmundsdesigns1]

Hello All,

We can make more for sure, but firstly I am disappointed to hear the wheels didn't fit as perfectly as I would have liked and can I please get an idea of what we are talking about here.....

Is it the rear wheels from models that made the parts "12mm hex kyosho fitting" need to have a larger offset and that effectively means the wheels will sit further away from centre of buggy by around 3mm on each wheel?

so Rev1 is wrong is rev2 correct>?

Thanks,
Wayne.

[HKS_TRD]

Hi Wayne, sorry for the slow reply.
Revision two is correct however I need to confirm if the difference is only 3mm or needs to be a little more.
I was wondering if rather than building up the rear area of the spokes they could just be angled deeper on the front face instead to achieve the correct spacing. No stress if thats not possible but it would be cool as it would mimic the standard wheels which have a deeper dish on the rear.
I'll work on getting the correct offset adjustment this week, but if anyone else who has bought and fitted these onto a Kyosho could chime in that would be great

[edmundsdesigns1]

No problem i dont check here as often as i like as i am always too damn busy

how about this?

waiting confirmation of the dish offset

[HKS_TRD]

I compared the alloy to a standard Kyosho rear wheel and the alloy is a hair under 2mm narrower than the standard Kyosho wheel.
So what this means is the face of the wheel actually needs to sit just under 5mm further out along with 2mm added to the overall width of the wheel

[Retro RC]

So what your saying is the dimension of 36 needs to be 38 and 27.3 needs to be 29.3?

[HKS_TRD]

So what your saying is the dimension of 36 needs to be 38 and 27.3 needs to be 29.3?

That is correct, with the 25.3 of your last drawing being retained.

I have another question, would it be possible to have the original design made in a narrower width (25mm) I have a RWD which uses 12mm hexes on the front wheels and will also take the new rear wheel design, means the new rear wheel design will be put to more use. Other guys with newer Ultimas could use the too

[edmundsdesigns1]

let me know

[HKS_TRD]

Hi
Yes indeed that is correct.

With that sorted is the narrow version of the original design a possibility?

[HKS_TRD]

bump

[HKS_TRD]

Has anyone else fitted these to the rear of a Kyosho?

[edmundsdesigns1]

Sorry about the delay,

The "narrow" version? Do you mean this the latest version we have now agreed on? If so, yes its available but I will need to put an order in for a smaller batch and then the the price is likely to be cost prohibitive (Unless you can take like 20 sets>?

What would you like to do from this point?

Thanks Wayne

[Retro RC]

Hi Wayne by narrow I think he means the using the same off set but making the overall width of 38 narrower to accomodate slim front tires

[HKS_TRD]

Hi Wayne
As RetroRC said I did mean an overall more narrow wheel to accommodate the slim front tyres of a 2WD buggy.
I have emailed you at the address you provided but in the event it didn't make it through can you email me at [email protected] so we can discuss further.

A question for everyone here though is if they are interested in the revised rear wheel design for their Kyosho buggy

[Retro RC]

Id also be keen on a narrow front 2wd set for Schumacher fitting if there is another run done

[zzzubbb]

Please sign me up for a set of yokomo in blue please..

Fantastic, well done that man..

[rylance1878]

Hi Wayne I would have some of the kyosho rear in blue to replace the rears I already have that are not correct fit
Thanks Alan

[HKS_TRD]

I managed to make email contact with Wayne but waiting to hear back from my second email. I mentioned to him that there was son interest in here for a second run, should hear back soon

[HKS_TRD]

OK so I just heard back from Wayne.
He is willing to work on some new designs but in the first instance advised we will need to have 15 full sets of four made at a minimum and the price would be 45£
So, who is in. I'd be up for two sets.

Maybe we can have sets of four revised Kyosho rears ordered then split them between us to help make up the 15 sets and not have to order more than we need.

So that's the first question, who wants revised Kyosho rears and what color.
If you want them for a Mid you'd need all four in the revised design I believe.

When we have sufficient interest Wayne will chime in and make it happen like last time, he is in the US at the moment and time poor

[rylance1878]

Hi I would have set of rears in blue for kyosho zxr as original ones I bought do not sit correct as everyone who bought some knows

[HKS_TRD]

Hi I would have set of rears in blue for kyosho zxr as original ones I bought do not sit correct as everyone who bought some knows

Hi, just to clarify you only want a pair correct?
I need a pair in blue too so between us that could be a set of four and then with the set of four I want for my Ultima that makes two sets.
Only need 13 more sets of four to be ordered:-)

[HKS_TRD]

I'll try starting a new thread but otherwise looks like this is dead in the water

[rylance1878]

I would have the new rears in blue for my zxr ,so we can do that between us ,so I am in

[HKS_TRD]
