Re: 1/12th Tamiya Renault RE 20 WIP

Okay, got the wheels pretty much done on the lathe, still have to mill the bead locks, air valves and bolt holes and then they're done! Clay had asked for some shots of the wheels chucked in the lathe, so here ya go...

Here I am boring the deep dish diameter to the back of the rim half...


Now I am setting up and turning the angle of the steps in the rim face to match the fronts...




Here I am breaking bits and ruining hours of work in a millisecond... ouch!!!




And here are some shots of the 2 fronts and 1 remaining rear... I'll have to make another rear this week... yuk!!!




Thanks for looking/laughing at my mistake...lol
