Hello everyone,

I am looking for a set of wheels that will fit my old Tamiya Blackfoot.
This is the original one that I bought in 1993.

I broke a wheel a couple of months ago and I have been looking for a
replacement part. Every hobby shop I contacted are telling me that this
part is not made anymore.

Does anyone know if there is another wheel that could fit?

Thank you

Martin

I ran Associate wheels on the front of my original blackfoot, just needed
different size bearings to suit. You didnt say which wheel was broken, but
you could give HPI a try for their wheels:

I do recall seeing some original wheels on eBay. Item number is 6013495431
currently $9.00 Ebay is usually the best place to look for these sort of
old parts.

Cheers
Richard

I saw some Aluminum ones that would look real nice on the BF.
They have a lot of IMEX parts for the BF too.
