HI dude, Erm i was thinking about this about month ago i not sure if angles etc will be different:confused: but i no the front wheels just fit, And the rears dont:( as the webs inside of wheel catch on block bit. Nick;)
the offset of the Academy wheels is different to the Kyosho wheels, which would end up making the car narrower causing clearance issue's that Nick mentions.

I have been using a Schumacher CAT3000 in the last 5 years. I have made a modification on original schumacher hex´s so the fit the ZX5, (nice I have nearly 100 set of wheels). I use the CAT2000 alloy hex where it is drilled a 5 mm hole and milled a slot to the pin.
For rear end I think hex from the Schu.Menece will fit easy if the 1,5 mm slot will be changed to a 2 mm slot.
If it wanted I can post photos after saturday.

Very interesting since I have 150 or so Schum wheels in the garage doing nothing. I looked at it. The offset seems about right for the ZX5, but it looks difficult to modify the Schum hexes.

Here we go !!
I have using the old type alloy adapter "wide type", For rearend it was needed to glue a 2 mm fiberglass hex on alloy hex, because Kyosho rear wheels have more off-set than the front wheels. Shumacher use the same off-set.
I have found a hex from the Shumacher Nitro car Menece and it seems it will do a great for the rearend on ZX5
But the slot have to be change a bit
Hope you use my pics.
Raining in Denmark too.. First meeting in this weekend, and it will raining :(
Cheers
