The link says Ranch but takes to somewhere else? In fact a lot of what you typed is missing and can only be seen when you try to reply!!

What you said about my wheels and the Ranch ones (which are the same btw) is missing. Whats with that I wonder?

That is interesting to say the least Dean. I did not edit anything have no reason too...(other then lazy typing which I also didn't bother to fix.) Very strange link looks right think we should ask Hank to have a look at this as I also can not see what I typed about your Rims. very very strange...

I haven't tried the HO glue ons yet, but I built a half dozen or so 1/43rds with the slip fit/glue on aluminum wheels and they work great. Very easy to insatll and very reliable, and true.

Here is a few pics of some Pro Track wheels for Tjets. They are over priced but look nice. I picked these up from NCP Hobbies on sale.

Hello All,

Has anyone tried the aluminum screw on wheels from Model Motoring? I'm looking for some nice, reasonably priced screw on for hot rods I'm building.

thx

I just tried my first set and thought they were okay for the money and came with tires too. I used them on an IRACE Auction car I built. There is a pic on this page below (see post #30)... ND

Ok, I will sound off, hey....

I am now the VERY proud owner of the 'Nutherized Tjet Fairlane! :woohoo:
I must say that I am pleased with the way the car rolls out on these aluminum wheels.
'Nuther Dave (tjd) has gained some Local HT infamy for the way his tweeked Tjet chassis accelerate and coast. No hop, no wobble and no car-twisting torque-braking when I get off the juice. The wheels he chose for the fairlane run fat, flat and smooth. :thumbsup:

Now that I know where they came from (Model Motoring, yeah?), I will be placing my own order for some!

Great choice in wheels, 'Nuther Dave! :thumbsup: I love the car!

I like Model Motoring';s alum wheels kits. Slot car Device on ebay has the best stuff I think. I must have bought 25 various sets from him, from his t-jets rims to his super gplus rims
