Was it hard? 'Hard' is too general a word...I would say (at least as my first time doing it) it was frustrating, tedious and a little scary.
I definitely recommend NOT doing your first wheel mod a pricey Maru! Start off on a cheap clone that you done care if you bend the heck out of the axles and knuckles.
Not to mention a clone (by 'clone' I mean those cheap cars that are clones of the Tomy Bit Char-g, far as I know there is no Puchi clone) has similar setups as the Puchi as far as the wheels go, so it's good practice.
The frustrating part was that the hot wheels rims had smaller holes than the Maru axles, so I had to 'bore out' the holes (that's the tedious part). And I was scared because I didn't want to screw up any important components of the Puchi...Which I actually did when I warped one of the front knuckle rods that holds the wheel in.
The next time I'll do it better because I know better.
