The Build – Part 11 – Body, Wheels & Tires
The final step in our Team C TM4 build is installing the wheels/tires and body.
Build Notes:
- You’ll be using CA glue to mount the tires to the wheels. CA glue can be nasty stuff if you treat it wrong, so please be careful not to glue your fingers together, or any other body parts.
Step 118:
The TM4 doesn’t come with tires, allowing you to use whatever tires work best at your track. I’m mounting up some Proline IONs.
Step 119:
After the glue has dried, mount the skinny tires to the front, the wider ones to the rear. Schelle Racing has a cool wheel wrench that works great.
Step 120:
Paint, cut out and mount your TM4 body and wing. Secure the body with the pair of body clip (with handy pull tabs). Secure the wing with the M3x10 screws and washers.
I’d like to give a special shout out to Larry Genova at Kustom RC Graphics for his amazing paint job on the TM4. Check out his site; he does some amazing work!
There you go, a complete and ready to race 4WD buggy. Add some stickers and get out on the track!
