The wheels do twist off, as on a normal Scaley

You may need to trim/file/sand the back edge of the guide post for clearance, and as well, may need to do some re routing of the lead wires

bouncing front wheels are never the  hot tip, regardless of the type of track.

On wood, front tyres play an important role in the handling of the car, and a stable front axle with round (trued) front tyres is a must.

thanks chris

the stubbies are going  Thumbup
i noticed the guide post would be close and will trim as required
this car will run on wood and plastic , magless so i think its the way to go

Kev, It is without question the way to go !!!
