    Has anyone experience with the BBR wire wheels that they sell separately? I've bought a few and wonder how they should be attached to the model. The back side of the wheels have a hole in the center, but it's quite shallow and tapered. Do you need to drill it out in order to fit onto the axle? Any tips are appreciated!

    Don't drill in the wheel, make both ends of the axle a little thinner.

    If the drill bit gets hooked, depending on the power of your drill, it tears the complete wires apart.
    Learned the hard way with the first of my self hand laced wire wheels.

    Best Regards
