J@mes 2326 Posted September 4, 2019 Whilst browsing the web I discovered the chrome wheels I got were originally from a TamTech called Wild Boar https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/56704wildboar/index.htm & recycled for the dancing rider as a hop up. The work for a decent 10mm hex continues... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J@mes 2326 Posted September 5, 2019 I ordered some 10 & 12mm standoffs for a couple of quid. Kit hex pictured at the back, with the holes in. The kit hex is 12mm long. I will need to use a washer/shim under the new hex to stop it rubbing on the hub, decided to use the 10mm long standoff not the 12mm. The pin will need filing down a bit so I can leave a bit of plastic round the outside to keep it in. The standoff will need drilling out another +/- 1mm to fit the axle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problemchild 2149 Posted September 5, 2019 I am wanting another full size lunchbox that will be a cannonball run ambulance plus I have my racing fighter black edition JJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J@mes 2326 Posted September 5, 2019 Sorted! Drilled 6mm halfway in to the 10mm standoff so it slid on the truncated axle then Dremeled out a channel for the pin. Plus no washer/shim needed as the rounded end of the standoff fits nicely against the bearing without rubbing the hub. those wheels are so sparkly! Running around indoors on 50% EPA & so much fun! Looking forward to getting a clear body to mess up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gizard 133 Posted October 22, 2020 Hi built a Mudmad with my son all okay but now there is no torque to the rear wheels. I thought oh I should have bought the expensive diffs but after removing the rear it seems fine I am a little confused to say the least any suggestions?

You need to glue the metal and plastic parts together because the grub screw doesn't hold it.. The Tamiya hop up cross pin part tells you to glue this part anyway.
