I believe this to be the best looking end result for a wheel swap. Swap wheels with the factory look. Enjoy!

Before gluing the tube onto the base, use a file to cut a couple windows into the tube about 1/4" from each end (file about half way into the tube). You can then insert your wheels and axles from each end and secure them with a drop of CA glue into each of the windows.

I use the same method. Sometimes I'll crimp the tube instead of super glue. But mainly glue.

@walterbryan1798 3 жыл бұрын
I like this method because it allows the wheel to spin on the axle. Some methods glue one wheel to the axle, then the axle rotates, and that seems unreliable. Still, I haven't done a wheel swap yet. I just stripped the paint from two bodies, then I'll repaint and do wheels and tires. :)

I wish Mattel would just come up with a way to separate the base from the shell with just a flat head screw driver. I'm sure there's a market for customizers who do wheel swaps. That soldering iron method is a great idea by the way.

Personally, I don't really like the idea of heating the casting to remove a plastic base. I'm pretty sure it damage them. Tho, may I ask you why was there such a gap in between the base and the body in the finished product? Was it because the wheels were too big?

Jose Osornio poke a square of paper through the axle and up to the tire. Super glue it and then pull the paper off when it drys. If there was to much glue it will stick to the paper and you can work that of with your finger. Your wheel will be free.🤷🏽‍♂️
