...your chassis is an *FW03* by the way. They are easy to get mixed up.
I personally think the FW03 is more of a "racing" chassis layout, however the FW04 has a bit more adjustment capabilities. Both are great handling cars.
Mika; your 4-Stroke Spada is a work of art, dude. -Do you still have it? I think I read you may have sold it. Either way, it's an incredible conversion you did.

Guys, have those gpm foam tires on my super. If I run the foam off can I replace it with 1/8 front foams just by cutting to the right width after glueing. For sure I need to prepare the wheel first somehow assuming it is flat, not ribbed. What you think?

Hi Mika, yes you can. I have done it before a couple of times. I got used 1/8 wheels from our local track racers, peeled the old foam off, glued onto rim and trimmed and trued. Tyres didn't last long but had a good choice of compounds!! Got too hard in the end so went out and bought the entire shop stock of fw04 GPM foam wheel sets and worked out better for me.
I still can't find any local suppliers with stock here. I think they are completely gone now.

Good evening, guys!
Here's what I did for the wheels / foam tires on my "dream" FW03-
My pink wheels are made by Kyosho / Team Power. They come without foams. I called Team BSR Racing, who mfg some if the best carpet foam/wheel combos, and asked them if I could send my rims and have foam tires made for them.
$50 and a week later, I had one sweet set of wheels w' foams!
Team BSR is located in Fairfield, Ohio.

Apparently the wheel hex has been shaved to 12mm and wheels drilled for 6mm axle, wheel dia is about 50mm. It says "Team" on the wheel. Anyone knows what these are? World GT ? Fit very well to the car.

Ok, thanks Jon! Wonder why the hex is different ? Is that for fw-03 size hex wheels ?

Maybe really stupid thoughts.. but how about using 1/10 world GT/pan car tires ?
Could this clamp fit the 6mm wheel axles?

And the use the front tires with a collet to make the axle from 6mm to 8mm ? Obviously cannot run this setup as 4wd, but 2wd.
Or.. maybe use the rears in front too, but maybe too wide.
