I have never had a bad plastic wheel or axle come on any one of my two dozen SCX Nascars. Their build quality was top notch. Because they are so good, I have seen no reason to change those wheels for anything else. Scalectric or Carrera Nascars were a different story. Their splined axles meant for a sloppy axle/bushing fit be used in order for the factory to be able to slide the bushings over the knurls. This caused wheel hop if you put more power and traction down to the track without magnetic attraction. On those cars that I tuned for racing, I did change to SCC's CB Design Nascar wheels with Slot.it axle bits. 15X8 is closest to the stock wheel on all the Nascar brands and was the only wheel allowed for the Davols (Forum) Cup Nascar Proxy.
