PC, once I did some grinding on the inside of the body I was able to space the rear wheels out a little more. Now I can clear the rails no problem. My next step is to get both of the fronts crammed under the body. I've already trimmed them down to the point where they rub the pick up shoes and I cant get them both inside the body. I may go hunting around my box of random parts to see if I can find narrower fronts for it. If anybody wants to see how much I trimmed off the body let me know I'll snap a pic. Jason I like to taper the backside of the front wheels like this.  If you need even more room you can step the backside of the wheel like this.  The stepped wheel setup measures .945" overall width. Both examples started as stock 4-gear wheels. Matt |

I like the look of that taper job Matt! Have to remember that on my cars now!   Ron (Bondo)  |

Putting an o-ring in place of the tire and tapering the backside of the wheel is brilliant Matt! One question, did you notch the wheel so that the oring has a groove to settle into or did you leave it flat?
Thanks
Jason

I just copied what someone else came up with a while back. Sorry I can't remember who. I just leave the o-ring surface flat. The o-rings fit pretty tight and I have never had one come off on it's own. Matt |
