Harry, any chance you can gives us a time comparison between tires? Seems the like the one with the lower profile would be better.

Paul, I agree with you. I was just wondering since the car has a high cg.

Harry, what size axle did you use? I'm about to order a pair of wheels and would like to buy the axle at the same time. I know I have a few somewhere in all my boxe, but you can never have enough. :-)

Tony, we always recommend upgrading to a quality axle such as Slot.It when using our wheels.
Doing some quick measuring, it appears the 48mm length would work, as would a 50mm (just to be absolutely sure)
Other quality 3/32" axles that work are Sloting +, Plafit, Parma, etc.

There you have the answer. I use 3/32nd music wire in bulk for many projects, but when I order Slot.it axles I always get the longer ones and trim them to suit the model.

Tony its the same rods that came with your jig

Wish I had ejector pins. Must be cool to know someone who has those.
