    ShoeGoo seems to work best. Has a clean removal also.

    Note that the 14.3×10 wheels (THRMR001AL) use a different grub screw 2.5mm
    than the 14.9×10 wheels (THRMR002AL) 4-40.

    Cloverleaf has the spurs and foam rim fillers in stock.
    SPURS GE31SWP Blue, GE30SWP Orange $7   (1 per bag)
    FOAM RIM RINGS – RMRFM001 $7  (4 per bag)

    Calculated Rear-wheel RPMS (with No rollout, or tire diameter factored in)
    32/11 = 2.90 21500/2.9 = 7414
    31/11 = 2.82 = 7624
    30/11 = 2.73 = 7875
    32/12 = 2.67 = 8052  //extremely hot, wheelies and bunny hops are unpredictable

    NOTES: The Thunderslot spurs are all 17mm OD and the pinion is 7mm.
    Whereas NSR spurs are 17.5, require 6.5mm pinions
    Axles ODs for both brands = 2.37mm, vs. 2.38 for Slot.IT and most other 1/32 brands

    Useless math tricks:
    3/32 = 0.09375 X 25.4 = 2.38125mm
    2.37mm / 25.4 = 0.9333 x 32 = 2.9858in [2.99/32]

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
