Default Aluminum Steering Wheels for M8!

ALUMINUM STEERING WHEELS FOR M8!

$45 plus shipping!

I have them in BLUE, RED, BLACK, and CLEAR!

They make the radio way more comfortable.

And they match all of your other aluminum parts.

E-mail me at [email protected] if you are interested.

The fast guys on the west coast are using them!

a few questions:

1)how does it make the radio more comforatble?

2)does it include the foam, or will i have to rip mine off glue and all from my old wheel.

3)any other designs coming out? also who makes these? do u have a CAD milling machine or something? or are these being imported from japan, and you are a middle man here or?....

thanks!

stormperson:

1. This steering wheel is wider so your fingers are farther away from the radio. It pushes your arms apart so your elbows are away from your body.

2. They do not come with foam yet. I am still trying out different foams. Maybe in the future I will have them with foam. If you are very careful and work slowly you can peel off the old foam with minimal damage. That is what everyone here is doing.

3. If these sell well enough I will have more designs. I have tried a couple but right now with only making a few it is too expensive.
Everyone that had used BK's, or Jason Coral's radios or even seen them wanted one. So I found a shop to make them for me. They are made in Orange County, CA, USA! No middle man.

i am interested although $45 seems like alot, do u have any prototype foams that you can include? since the foam on my m8 is just about gone anyway, there is no real point in taking it off to use another wheel.

and i would assume you are not intersted in trades?

stormperson:

I know it is not a big difference but they are $40.
I do have a foam that i can give you with it.
I am always looking to trade stuff.
What do you have.

spongebob:

The picture came out a little funny. The red is like the MF red on his products. And the blue is a little darker than the pic. More like the BK products. Here in So-Cal we have all been using the stock foam. If your careful it comes off with out a problem. I could send one with an extra foam that I have. It is like the traxxas replacement foam, very porous.

oh, if its like the traxxas foam then i will probably order a new one from airtronics and stick it on there.

as far as trades, i dont really have anything that would be worth $40, except for some video game stuff (GBC, PS1, DC) or a partial trade for a rolling chassis. as far are those go, i have a SNR with a os CVR .12 (i could take out the engine which has great compression, and do a partial trade with that), a tamiya f1 with a mclaren body and a 911 gt1 body.

Joe:
Not at the moment. I am trying to see how well these sell first. There are not many people out here that run KO radios right now. But if there are enough people to fit the market then they will be made. I am working on a few samples for a few different radios.

I would be interested in one for my KOMars & JR R1. It would look muche better than recycling a sedan rim & tire.

I only have wheels for the M8 right now.

The TQ and winner of the Off Road ROAR nats both use the wheels. Just to name a couple.

Anyone wanting to know any info you can E-Mail me at
