This is going to sound a little mundane to you 1/32 plastic frame guys, but I'm a newbie to these plastic things!
Oh my gosh, these things are tinny..Being used two 1/24 metal frames etc... I need a lighted magnifying glass to work on these....

Well, I got some PG tires in and they are a little taller so I wanted to pop the axle out to grind a little off the top of the wheel well but how do you get the axles out? I'm afraid those little ears holding the bushings in will break off if I try to pry out the axle?
Man where are the set screws to hold everything together? :lol:

Fear not; slight pressure under the axle and they pop right out (or should anyway)! Most of the plastic chassis out there are fairly flexible.

Did Ninco make a Mini? If so I must find one.

The plastic chassis really are quite forgiving. Usually a slight flex or a twist and the bearings will pop out of their holders.

I like the looks of the Ninco's, but their chassis is kind of upside down compared to the Scaley's. Yes, they are all top heavy. I run mine no-mag and you have to lower them to get them to run well, which Ninco make this hard to do. I'm sure you could do something, but I haven't tried modifying one. :)
