are great. my car runs everything over. it handles high speed turns 10x better. if you have a dual battery car you need these wheels.

it was fairly easy.

i took a drift axle that i had and ripped off the drift wheels. i broke the axle part so i used a clone axle. cut it to the right length, the pullback wheels are thicker on the drive side wheel i had to cut out the center axle holder part a little bit so the gear sits flush against the wheel.

then i bust out my handy dandy

"jbweld" do a search on that word if you are not familiar

mix it up real good and put a little bit between the drive wheel and a little bit on the gear. be extra careful not to get any on the teeth. and then i put more jbweld on the non drive side. play with it all for a few mins and try to center so everything is straight.
after an hour or two i put it on the bit and started running it upside down so the weels move with no load to make sure everything is true and adjust until it is.

jbweld takes about 6 hours to harden completly.

i also painted the rim face with a silver paint marker. it looks swell.

**note**
the drive side wheel sticks out slightly further than the non drive side. i could have chopped at the wheel to make it look mor symetric but i dont care and it drives just fine

what about getting the wheels off the axle?

off the pullback or the bit?

i twisted one side off. then held the axle with needle nose and twisted the other side.
