MMMMaybe not. (he mustn't be online tonight) Sporty here are two good sources for tools and supplies our very own www.derbydoc.com/and www.maximum-velocity.comthere are a bunch of others too. i.e. winderby.com P.S. Don't spend all your money on wheels, save some for the races. Send those cars in. Good Luck |

Doc, You want to answer this one? I think Ive hooked him up. A few stencils will be thrown in for good measure. Also Sporty, Some guys used to run an from Max-V. Im not sure if he still sells them though. They were a little thicker and heavier than the DerbyWorx Pro RS wheel, but overall was a good wheel. |

Yes Doc, took care of me. thanks doc.
However, I know most the web sites that sell. but these were wheels i seen on here that i have not seen anywhere else, royal ranger wheels maybe ? or royal ambassader wheels ?
they looks like the size and shape of the royal ranger wheels, but was smooth and rounded at the top, instead of the knobby look on the sides.

Hey Sporty, the 4 spoke Royal Ranger wheels you speak of are what I have been using since the early 90s. Before that we used the other style that has theknobby sidewall. I have had great success with the 4 spoke wheels. It usually takes 2 or 3 kits to find a great set of wheels. They can be made very fast! Have you seen these in action performing well anywhere? I might send a car in using this style of wheel, I believe it would have to compete with the mods due to the narrow wheel.

I have several sets left over from all the years but they have been culled through picking out the best. I believe the Gospel Publishing House carries the 4 spoke. I was hoping that I could buy the wheels in bulk, don't really need all them extra pieces of the kit floating around. I'll hook ya up when I can scrounge together a worthy set. If your'e anxious to get your hands on a set now I can send you a set of the leftover. Do you have plans of turning them on a lathe? Not sure how they will compete with the more modern wheels. I'll find out tonight though as I have my first league race and I am using the 4 spokes in the modified class. Talk about sink or swim! Gonna base my decision on tonights performance if I stick with these wheels and buy a big bag of em or step up my game and get RS or something similar.

I have some, but they do not have spokes, I would be happy to have a set or two of them. The ones i got from GPH did not come spoked.
