FG Wheel conversion


FG Modelsport Wheel Hub Conversion.


 The Carson supplied tyres are a little bigger diameter and a little weak in offset ie +0 , but that just means there are options out there.


these wheels from FG Modelsport (GPM wheels) are run by 99% of touring car guys and that means they are in ready supply in used form.  (thanks to Scale Race Engineering we have some test wheels)

 We are planning to sleeve these tyres in our chosen plastic compound.


They run a square drive system and that means a hub conversion. They will affix with an M4 Screw and washer into the centre of the drive axle.  I'll sort this out later.

However they are also a little wider and a little smaller in diameter, so that means some camber has been dialled in for Stance. as we know. when we are on 45 degrees angle straight line camber settings are irrelevant with 13 degrees castor.

Theres some good adjustment in the top a-arm and the position of the hub carrier so for now this will be good.

anyway.. swap hubs back for maiden programming and running.
