These are not marui CJ rims. Marui's are flat spokes.
Maybe a set of Jonny Retro special custom rims

There's a guy in Spain that sells repro tyres for these on ebay. Can't find the listing at the moment though.

Edit: Here he is www.ebay.com/us...ano-guevos
There's also MarwanRC who is in Kuwait.

Thanks mate, Yeah I picked up gear from Marwan before and have been looking around his site again for other stuff

However I just plan to rebuild these for display purposes

I didn't mean for it to happen (again )

And my TBG Porsche gear arrived, with an extra set of decals

Just between a grasshopper and a lunchy it would be perfect

Not today actually, but rather a week ago or so. Was so excited that I forgot to take photos before I dismanteled it and cleaned it.... It's a very nice Mk2 Rough Rider. The front arms were Mk1's, except for one, but I changed them with a set of Mk2's I had in my parts bin, to make it fully Mk2, as I have a full Mk1 Sand Scorcher already. It also came with a manual!

BTW: Do we know exactly when the transition from Mk1 to Mk2 was completed for the RR and the SS? Did the Ford Ranger ever come with Mk1 parts?

The radio box is complete, except for two of the cam-locks missing. The covers for the motor and the gears are also in good condition. Of course the front suspension pins were bent, so I changed them for a set of new ones. I also put in an original MSC I had from before, as it came with a ESC, but more on that later :




The body was in a very good condition, only the roof was not useable. Luckily I had a new one. Might be stripping and repainting it later, but I already have a stripped Rough Rider body I'm working on. I also got the driver and all 4 lights:




It came with a nice Futaba radio, and both a mains and quick charger from Acoms:




But the icing on the cake was this very nice and good condition Acoms AP-35 ESC :




I now have two of those :
