well first you have to find a tiny 1/18 scale jack to raise the front end of the truck...immeww2 wrote:How do I fix it?
seriously though, if you can post a pic of the damaged wheel and all parts you have I can probably advise you on how best to repair it.

>>> Well ,.. if your problem was anything like mine & this is the most common problem :immeww2 wrote:How do I fix it?
* What I did :
.............. If your inner sub-axle is broken or cracked in several places , inside the wheel well hub ,.........
1) Bring the whole metal axle w/ you. ... I bought a piece of Plastruct plastic tubing for .95¢ @ my local hobby shop.
2) Find the best tube for the axle to fit into. Snug fit is best.
3) Cut it off to length approx. 1/4 ... The inner sub-axle is 1/4 in diameter x 1/4 in length.
4) Sand or Dremel out remaining inner sub-hub crap in the wheel well itself.
5) Place pre-glued cut off piece in the center of hub. ... Best to use Plastruct Solvent or a Loctite super glue.
......... Let dry !
6) Then slide other remaining wheel w/ metal axle thru the under-carriage and snug-fit the other (fixed) wheel on.
