My KINGDOM for some RC-10B2 rear wheels
Well, maybe not my kingdom but still - these seem to be hard for me to find. I have an RC-10B2 that I tool around the neighborhood with and wanted to change the tires. The wheels I have are of course old and the old tires are CA'd a little too well onto the wheel. Removing them has proved problematic and let's face it.
I'm lazy.
I need some replacement wheels but the B4 wheels do not have the 'cone' shaped centering indent that the older cars require.
Anyone know where I can find some old parts?

just cut the old tires off with a dremel, and sand off the glue
takes under 10 mins

Okay, I actually used a pair of needle nose pliers and pried the old tires off and they almost came off - mostly. It was a pain but not as much of a pain as trying to find new rims...
There aren't any on eBay that I Was able to see.
So now I'm rolling with some new tires that are spot CA'd on instead of CA'd with a full bead (Previous owner did that - not me).
