    So what do you do with the guts, axles and wheels, etc. when you remove them?

    The chassis, wheels and interior tub will go in a parts box in case they become useful for something someday.
    The greenlight wheels do not roll smooth. I have not spent the time yet to see if it is the rim, tire or axle that is the problem, but all that I have taken out of the package roll "lumpy".

    I was thinking in terms of wheel swapping between other models. I have a few I'd like to do. But, you need to make a circuit and race a couple around, see how they perform on curves.

    I have a road course track as well. So far, it corners about as good as a 1:1 scale wagon. :scratchchin::biglaugh:
