The Black and White versions now have the 35th LE Black wheels on them. ??? So, I just switched wheels between the White model and the 35th LE model....whalahhh...correct look." ----------------
How did you get the wheels off?? I have both a 35th and an NBM, and the first thing I noticed was that the wheels were backwards. I tried pulling the wheels off, but they didn't seem to budge and I didn't want to pull too hard. So what's the secret technique?
Seriously, they take a good pull, but don't jerk them and try to brace the surrounding undercarriage with the other hand.
They do pop off. I've done 5 cars x 4 wheels thats 20 total...
Also, you may want to glue the "rotors and calipers" piece on correctly while you have them off. Every model I have recieved has the calipers spinning freely in the wheel. Each rotor/caliper piece has a key...all it takes is to slide the notch into the key...you'll see what I mean when you get them off.
I also "lowered" my models by cutting the springs! Gives them a more aggressive stance....just like the real cars. You can dissassemble the car to do this or just cut the springs while they are on the car. I did it both ways but cutting them on the car is trickier. Its more time consuming to dissassemble the car though.
Hope this helps...if you need any more help just let me know!

Whoa!! You've taken the "modding bug" to the next level...modifying scale Camaros! Very cool. Thanks for the tips...I'll fix the cars as soon as I get home.

Modding the real cars in the summer and the scale models in the winter....It's definitely an addiction. We're all a bit touched.
