Well, just with the drawing, you should get the point.

I agree with Eric, and even so, there are plenty of threads on this topic that will come up with a forum search, each will contain more than one way to approach the task.

[mike@af]

Ray's got it. Every lowering job has its own approach. Try the search to find a more exact answer.

There are no really easy ways of doing it. It certainly can be done, but to do it well requires some scratchbuilding skills. It can be a very frustrating thing to try on your first or second build (or even fifth).

lol theres one easy way iv used before. take a drill bit about the size of the stem that the tires go on then drill out a whole a little lower then the middle of the tire and put the stem in that, u can make it higher or lower

1. This only works on most Revell and AMT kits.
2. You'd probably find it better to drill the hole in the rim as opposed to the tire.
