i always like the foam pan car wheels they look mean and seem to grip good depending on the compund so i finally figured a way to mount them on a gear box car

i used one of these
it is about a 1/32 to small so i rapped one band of electrical tape around it making sure to not overlap the tape. then cut about 8 grove,s into the tape and slighty into the plastic of the adapter , i then pushed it into hole with a large coin as to seat the adapter flush on the inside of the wheel.
Then a thick squirt of CA glue and let dry for 12hrs

yes the more i build the less i feel i should run it its such a basic desinge, maybe i will just fold some alloy and make my own .
Its true the material used was thin so i can see why the screws holding on the nose dont hold on the 100 degree sink .

Is that a Parma body? I have one thats a slant nose, and I was wondering if they ever did a normal 911. Looking good, I'm jealous!
