RC Alloy wheels

[kong]

Well it's taken me an age to get here, but I have finally used the machinery to make something saleable! These still need a polish, but I thought I would share them with you all. Anyone else got any alloys to show off?

Dude sweet, have any pics of the machining process? If you need a store to sell them through I know of one...

What equipment did you use? Software, lathe, mill, controllers etc.

Thanks Paul, but due to the strong pound at the moment, I don't htink I would get much by exporting them
Pdevey, I used my homemade cnc-router to cut the spokes after they were turned on my own BV20m cnc converted lathe. I use Dolphin cad/cam to provide the g-code for both machines, and Mach2 as the control software. Hoep this helps. I will run some more batches in the New Year, and can get some machining photos then

I am glad I'm not the only one that wants to remanufacture rc parts. I was showing my kids what I want "Santa" to get me for christmas the other day and that I would re-make most of the parts myself. The guy behind the counter pipes up and sid that that has allready been done. I guess these guys miss the point. The probably are the tye that also buy "ARF" planes. Kong, way cool wheels!

WOW!!! Can't wait till I can make some rims like that.

I know this thread is older than dirt, but I'm just now getting the hang of posting pics. I made a wheel a while ago, just for the hell of it. It doesn't fit anything but I thought it came out ok.
btw I love those wheels you made Kong...... well here's my one and only.

Hi all. This is my first post on this forum. After scanning the various sub-forums here, this one caught me eye, 'cuz, I too, make parts for RC vehicles, not to mention complete vehicles:

Wow......

Nice looking stuff!

How about a detailed desription on those diffs and CVs? They look well proportioned.

I think we need more pics...

Everytime I see something of this quality I'm just inspired by it!

You found the way to my heart, pity you're not a woman!

Robert, you are a true artist with the CNC. We'd all love to see more of your stuff.
