So I went to a Hobby store the other day and there is a flyer posted for a Pack about 20 minutes North that is having an adult race as a fundraiser (only $20... might have to enter a couple LOL). Anyway, the rules are pretty standard except for weight (7.0 oz) and rule #2 regarding the wheels which says that while you gotta use the ones that came with the official kit (rule #1), you should - quoting here: "Feel free to make significant modifications to the wheels" So even though I don't have a lot of fancy tools in the shop, I thought I'd give "significant modifications" a shot ;D Using a belt sander, coping saw blade, flat file, drill press and mandrel, wet / dry sandpaper and plastic polish I came up with the following: Hope you like the pic (Mood), the wheels are all between 0.5 and 0.6 grams... Put the wheels on a balancing tool and they are all just a little off balance (like I'm not???), but they seem to run OK for "Bubba specials". I'll let you know how the race turns out, I have no idea who might be lurking in the shadows up there... Bubba
