Hi chaps,

For those who are running the original Schuey Staggers up front on the DB1, what skinny wheels are you using please? I have some RB5 fronts here but they are wider than the M25! ;)

I had my fill of running other cars with the Staggers not filling the rims :/

Any part #'s (Kyosho) appreciated :)

Thanks in advance

Cheers mate, I should have said, I was also trying to avoid the oldschool chop shop method, not through any laziness on my part just didn't want to have to hack through several sets of fronts in a bid to get some skinny fronts. I have seen folks running skinny fronts, and I guess with the hex fitting there should be something out there?.....*holds hand to forehead as if looking into the distance* ;) lol

Anybody got skinny fronts please? Thanks for sound advice though dude :)

Nothing I am aware of. Post me a few sets of fronts & I'll cut them on my lather mate, tidiest way of doing it.

Somebody else might know of some others that fit .... but would they be up to Kyosho quality?

Cheers Rog :)...I have gone 'old school' on my wheels and trimmed them down. They look cool and I'm sure those who used to own some of the other mid 2wd conversions will remember the sight of wheels hanging outside the rim of staggers!! That is no longer the issue for my spanking new DB1!! :) thanks for advice guys, not the first time I have had to nibble round some wheels like a hungry beaver ;) .

Just cut them with curved body scissors and flat on a peice of sandpaper... (if you can be bothered)
