Attaching Aoshima wheels to Tamiya
Well, my Andrews arrived this morning, a day after my SAS GT Wing (double happiness!) and they are female wheels...I know how I'm going to attach them: using a toothpick through the brake & polycap etc but I was wondering if theirs anything slightly stronger I can use? Aluminium tubing seems to soft and so it might bend easily...any ideas?

Use the plastic rod from the model tree.
cut and sand it down to right size. brake poly cap <-----> plastic rod <-----> rim's poly cap Hope this help  Are you using hollow Aluminium tubing? b/c metal should be stronger unless you are using 1100 Aluminium

Be careful of how far the wheel sticks out of the wheelwell, sometimes it sticks out too much and looks unnatural.

female connector = a hollow receptacle / cylindrical
male connector = a rod sticking out You connect a male to female connector by inserting the rod to the receptacle. Still wonder why they're called male / female? :silly2: :silly2: :silly2: :silly2:
