Do you know where I can find some 1.55" paddles that will fit the Kyosho wheels? I am going to use the stock ribbed fronts. I should have mentioned I am just in need of the paddles. The wheels would be cool to find as well, but I am thinking of just going with the yellow slots that come on the Kyosho Beetle.

id go test the water in the vintage Tamiya or Kyosha forum.

I was wondering that myself.

Kyosho lists the rears as 83x41MM, and these show as 81x41MM: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203975431381?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr=1&amdata=enc:1Bvk5Q7JrSka6pnbLVFQ2TA3&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=203975431381&targetid=&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9005776&poi=&campaignid=17597089569&mkgroupid=&rlsatarget=&abcId=9300988&merchantid=574813898&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsoycBhC6ARIsAPPbeLuZawxaKmGWmYfEOqAzypshJWGVZDAjNY09_Rt-bCTD39UHlLUKy3waAkyVEALw_wcB
so, they might be the same. You could try contacting the seller and see what they say.

Edit: As for the wheels, they look a lot like Kyosho Tomahawk wheels. I know you could get them in black or chrome, but, I'm not sure about red.

Oh hell yeah, Tomahawk wheels lol. I don't know how I missed that lol. And those numbers are the outside diameter and width. Those tires won't fit my wheels.

The Tomahawk was one of those cars i drooled over, and studied every inch of for quite a long time, so, that was the first thing i noticed.

It was never high up on my list, but one I want now because I wanna get all of them eventually.
