Nice tutorial! I need to get some slower setting glue... I have been using standard loctite and you literally have seconds to get things squared away before you have an out of square out of round tire/wheel combo... Can be very frustrating.
I unfortunately run with magnets, full voltage, with the stock motor(s) at the local commercial track, and have found that nail polish won't cut it for very long - but the super glue does do well. (now just need a source for the slow cure stuff!) :D
Thanks again for the tutorial and in particular the stand off tip - that is a slick idea! :D

I do the same thing with a wooden dowel that is jammed hard into a board. I pop it up and down with a mallet for adjustment, but its the same basic tool. Frankly, I thought I was the only one who would care about it. I can't stand inserts that stand proud. Makes me nuts and I think it ruins the look of the whole car. I use mine for 1/32 and 1/24.

I forgot to mention something. There is something called "nail hardener" that is much better about a hold for urethane. I thought I got that from you, but where ever it came from, its much better than nail polish for gripping the tire.

Thanks for the comments guys, glad it might help a few.
And Jon, you are the guy to thank. You motivated me to do this one.
