Jig Wheels

I have fouled up a lot of wire and brass.
Which jig wheels are good for 1:32 cars. I either get them to low or to high. Or I melt the wheels.

Frank, there isn't one simple answer. The size you need will depend on the jig you use, the tire diameter(s) you want to use, & the chassis to track clearance you wish to maintain. Since you have some that are too low, a way to use them might be to put shims beneath them to raise them up. Try some of the different thicknesses of plastic or brass strips for the shims.

Frank, look at page 3 of the thread here in scratchbuilding titled, "Chassis building on a honeycomb ceramic plate." JT Previa's adjustable jig wheels may be just what you want.

That's allot to digest. I have all weekend to read it several times and make notes.
Thanks

I made mine today, actually, just a few hours in the afternoon, and I couldn't be more pleased. I feel like I got away with something sneaky!
