View Full Version : Rear Rims - Where to buy
1976Cordoba 05-15-2009, 11:10 PM Question for the racers --
Locally I can get rear rims in .225 and .250, .260, & .275
My question is this -- Is there a place to find something between .225 & .250? Like some .230 or .240 sizes?
Looking to fit to Tomy SRT rear axle . . . any help would be appreciated. :)
AfxToo 05-16-2009, 09:13 AM I checked all the usual sources like Wizzard, JWs, Rabbit, but I don't see any tweener sizes. What we normally do in these situations is wrap regular old cellophane tape around the rim to get the tweener sizes.You have to cut each complete wrap so it lays flat.
neorules 05-16-2009, 09:19 AM Qyicker has dbl flanged rims in .237 and 262. Will that help?

SuperFist 05-17-2009, 01:46 PM I haven't been able to get any Quicker hubs and gears for about 3 years.
I used to buy them all the time.
Rumor has it that Rick Derosa got married,
and his wife put the (I'm not sure how to say it) on his slot car thing.
If you can find them.
Black .225
Blue .235
Yellow .250
Purple .260
White .270
Red .280
Dark Green .300

smokinHOs 05-21-2009, 03:56 PM I think the double-flange I have in assorted sizes are Hobbypros. Can in a pcak of like 6 pairs or something, different sizes.
Unfortunately I can't find a link to them, and the last package I bought was from a friend of mine.
Unless you have a particular brand of slip-on you use, ScaleAuto's Hott series give you many different sizes on the same rim...
Check it out? I have been more than happy with the Hotts on my Max..

riggenracer 05-23-2009, 07:03 AM Also look at JW's Speed Parts.
1976Cordoba 05-23-2009, 11:11 AM We use PVT-01s as the slip-on spec tire, so any pre-mounted tires are a No-Go.
SuperFist 05-24-2009, 10:28 PM I haven't seen any new Hobby Pros rims in 4 years, I pretty sure they're out of business.
Only the last ones I bought were .280, .285 & .290.
It might not be much help, but I do have a phone# and e-mail address for Hobby Pros.

Doba,
Not sure that you found what you're looking for, but, unless this webpage is hopelessly outdated, it appears that Quicker may still be around. See link above if I did it right, or address and phone info below.
Quicker Engineering
7516 Buena Ave, Spring Grove, IL 60081-8925
Contact Phone: (815) 675-6516
If you're in Milwaukee, Spring Grove isn't far from you. It's a few miles south of the Illinois border down Highway 12.
roffutt 06-11-2009, 01:23 PM Hey Doba,
John Mullen site has a few tweener sizes .230 & .245 listed on his site. http://www.j&sho.com (http://www.jandsho.com/Page1.html) You might ask John if he'd make some custom sizes for you, if those sizes are not what your looking for.
