I built my own from a product I saw on the web. It was $45!! (steep for the use it would get)


http://www.bluegrasshobbies.com/bg/catal...cts_id=471

Mine is wood (base and legs) with (4) ball bearings screwed to the legs for a rod to spin on. Key was finding rod of the right diameter and i used an extra hub for wheel attachment.

For balancing I use the black "putty" from GMK. Racer's Edge also has something similar.

Wheels dont cause the car to vibrate like crazy on the box anymore and the buggy handles and jumps lots better than b4.
