Been reading the forum for a while.
Found lots of good info here.
Anyways, my 1/12 scale Tamiya F50 is finally here...can't believe the how good the workmanship...I will take some pics soon :)
Also got some questions about modifying the cars.
Can't seem to find a site that teaches even how to remove a wheel of the car :p

Welcome to AF. The best addvice I can give as to removing wheels from diecast is to take the body off the base and see how the wheels are attached from the inside. Most of them are attached by a screw from the inside. Smaller scale diecast (1/24-1/64) could just have the wheels attached directly to the axle. In these cases you might be able to pull the wheel off or cut the axle in half and replace them with new axles with the new tires attached.
