Post by **CaboWabo** » Mon Jul 07, 2003 12:04 am

I've finally wrote a tutorial on the alloy rims installation, using the new alloys a lot of us just got out of the first huge group buy.
Instead of reposting it all here, I'll just give ya the link to the tutorial in our Articles section:

Nice tute man. Any good tips on how to re-connect reg Char G rims and gears? or should just follow same gluing technique? My gears slip cause I tried to change the rims and the gear came unglued. I tried using plastic/model cement but it holds for a min r 2 but then releases again.

Should I just get some Krazy Glue and try again or is there a better method?

well I guess I'd have to suggest 9 mm then instead of 10 mm rims for alloys like you see in the tutorial.

I presume these are made for bits/microsizers, but could you use the larger back tires on a ZZ.

Cool tut tho'

i HATE AOL!!!

those particular alloys are made for H/O slot cars I believe, we just used em for the bits and yea you should be able to use them on a zipzap as well
