Check out the wheel and tyre thread for all the information you seek. There is a couple of how to's and you will also be able to find the most successful combinations. here is just one of them ECRC cut and shut also check out some of "Novas ark"'s work he pretty much established cut and shut in the crawling world. Yes there were others that surely did it before him but he took it to the main stream.

I have built 3 sets so far and it is'nt a really big deal, just patience and stuck fingers and burning eyes.

Thanks guys!! Im now understanding that the main gain is to get 1/8 scale tire onto a 2.2 wheel and benefiting from the extra height and width!!! No further replies needed, just let this thing fall off and more interesting things will arise.
