Putting Aoshima Wheels on a AMT 300C?

Hi guys!
I want to put some Aoshima wheels on my 300C, but I have a problem and I don't know how to fix it. The pins where I need to place the wheels are too short, even if I use the kind of adapter that came with the wheels. Someone got a trick for me?





Thanks a lot!

Extend the pins that go to hold the wheels on.

Yeah, but how can I extend those pins?
I need to buy some styrene rod of 2mm, cut the old pin and put a new one with some superglue?

You would do better to drill into the CV joint a bit, and cement the 2mm styrene rod into the hole. What are you doing for brakes? You can use brakes as a good attachment point for the wheels, too.

thanks willimo.
For the brakes, I don't really know, I will try to make them fit ;-)

Can you tell me what is the CV joint?
Thanks!
