Can anybody tell me how to adapt Mini-Z wheels to the xmod?

Hey guys,

What do I need to fit mini-Z wheels on the xmod? If it is a part I need, where can I buy it?

-Thanks

I bought some adapters, but they suck and broke very easily. I would suggest machining down stock wheels into adapters.

Yeah i tried that too and the adapters were very low quality, you pretty much just have to make them fit.

Do you guys know what all I would need to make them fit? How would I do it?

-Thanks

i wouuld suggest using a drill bit but one of the ends is flatened so i dont know.

I had a horrible experinece. If you have a mini-lathe, I'd just machine down some stock wheels (what I'm doing).

not to sound stupid, but what exactly is a mini-lathe?

It's like a 1:3 scale version of a regular metal lathe, designed for smaller parts that you could never get into a big metal lathe. it's quite useful.

How does a lathe work?

It's kinda like a drill press, except instead of putting the drill bit into the spinning part, you put the metal into it, and the bit stays stationary. also, it allows for a thing on the side so you can reduce the material's diameter.
