how did you fit the lunchbox tires, were you the one who adapted the rims from the LB?
that was pretty nifty.

Sorry, missed this the first time around

I "heavily modified" a set of lunchbox wheels to work as interference fit adapators on M38 wheels, I also had to cut about 12mm out of the centre of each tyre.

Although it looked the part, it threw the gearing right out, so it would start off slow but drive in a permanent wheelie (angular momentum, primary interia yada yada) ... because it was so overgeared, the motor got really hot & melted the grey heatshrink right off, and also started melting the black plastic endbell where the bronze bearing is held in

I don't recommend anyone else try it TBH


I found these pics on my hard drive:

remember that one, did look cool though.

Here some knuckle pics.







height approx 19mm so a good fit

edit: think its OT-16 Alum Front Knuckle (Kyosho Turbo Optima Lazer Optima Mid Stinger)
