The wheels SHOULD all be the same diameter. You're right...they fit like poo regardless of the brand of wheel.

I don't think that I had any problems with the front tapers, but the rears are pretty bad, even if you use Losi wheels.

Oh well...I got plenty of glue and electrical tape.

Hey Gary....NO ONE can actually mount a set of Pink Tapers perfectly. It's actually impossible but....no matter what....they are the sh*t front and back on Jakes Track no matter how F-UGLY you mount them. (do-it) (do-it)

Yeah, I'am about ready to glue this mess up. Thinking about using the losi rear foams in the front...I got a pair of Bomb-1 inserts for the rear. You know, there ain't much tread on these taper pins to start with...think I might run them as is. Gonna grind down them Panthers into slicks though since their poo with tread on them...

Lee...you taking notes I hope on what we need as far as parts go. I'am gettin damn tired of mail ordering everything I need. Stop by my pit sometime on saturday if you like...I got a pretty good knowledge on what the racers need and what sells...and what doesn't.
