Not to change the subject but for the people out there that want to try running HPI Vintage wheels and tires I still need to know if anyone else wants to jump in on this, the more we buy the cheaper they will be. I am going to get my self a set for the VF1 Car I have!

RCTech user Grenade10 used a similar system on the wing of a Chapparal HO slot car way back when he was a kid. It used the motor rocking side to side in its mount for actuation; angled under deceleration, flat under acceleration. There was no performance gain, but it did psych out the other drivers, who thought it might have an effect.

I do not think it will be all that much, the design, setup & run time is what coasts the most. no, matter what the part is made from.
@ David I knew you would be in for a set.

What are the holes on the brake disc for? Did they do that in the 60's? (Sorry, just being a smarta$$) Anyway, sign me up! You're doing the front and rear?

[QUOTE=Marty Peterson;12103163]Hi everyone, The Age Old Question? 14mm to 12mm rear hubs & F103, 04, Pro, ..... Front Knuckles & Axles for 12mm Hubs?
Look nice, Marty! I have made adapters like your first design in the past. I drilled the wheel to accept a flanged bearing to support the wheel on a wider base. Works well but then the wheels are modified.
Let's do some brainstorming on making some front adapters similar to your rears for the front. It would be great to just use the F104 type parts and the VTA wheels!!
I used the Tammy GT rear diff and rear adapters which are 12mm and it works out to 190 mm wide with the VTA wheels. This would be a simpler and likey cheaper solution.
Have you laid out the width on the front end with this type of adapter and the different width arms? I think it may require the narrow F104 arms to get downt to 190mm.
One suggestion-The disks on most of these cars were not inside the wheels as they are today. They were inboard of the wheel in the airflow. Consider moving the disk inboard for more realism!!
