    For alternatives to Slot.It, NSR wheels work best with NSR tires, and they need to be used with NSR axles.  SlottingPlus wheels look great, usually don’t need inserts, and use a 4/440 grub screw (same as NSR; does not strip as easy as a 2mm grub).  CB Design has a wide selection of wheels; some are made for inserts while others have spokes or holes like 1×1 “mag” wheels; a few look like chromed steel wheels a’la classic NASCAR (CB Design uses 2mm grubs like Slot.It)

    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.
