Calm down everyone.

Based on the entirety of this thread, Scott will scratch build a new spoke wheel using nothing but baling twine, a yard of barbed wire, toothpaste & the first thing he finds down the back of the sofa!

So now that wheel is dead .Oh the humanity

So three wheels perfectly in place, I would have to destroy to get off and I have cemented the body and chassis in.
Oh shite :scratch:: :think:

I decided to sacrifice some other spoked Fujimi wheels. They are stupid wide and look like whore boots.
