get your hands on some 1/8th track foams wich are unglued.. put your offroad wheels up in a lathe and make them flat then you can put on your 1/8th foams on them, might be tight but it should fit real good.. i recommend some contact or 2 componenet glue though.. ca-glue is not good

they fit on the rb5, if you cut the fronts to be abit thinner
 but the feeling gets a bit like a gocart with such small wheels

if you leave them 10mm high, make sure you round them very much or theres a big chance of chunks getting ripped off if you hit a cerb or rolls it..
i would think 5mm is well enuogh.. but i used foams at least 10 years ago

Here are the steps I took (use safety specs!) 1. I started with a rear wheel, put it on a tyre truer and removed the ribs - best to connect the motor so the wheel is spinning away from you. 2. Then I stopped the wheel, removed it from the truer and pushed a donut over the rim until it was square. 3. I then stopped the wheel again and I made a mark with tippex on the outside of the foam using the width of a front wheel as a guide. 4. Using a stanley knife and with the assembled wheel/donut spinning on the truer I cut vertically down by the tippex mark until the excess foam detached - voila, here's the start of the front tyre. 5. I then glued the tyre onto the rim (now looking more like a completed assembly) in several places front and back using a tube of contact adhesive from B&Q. 6. After about 20 mins I started to true the donut down to size, I aimed for 7mm wall size (this bit is messy!). 7. Once I had my desired foam wall I used some sand paper whilst the wheel assembly was spinning to round off the edges of the foam. 8. Then did the above steps 1 to 7 for the other rear and then the front wheels! I left them overnight to allow the adhesive to set. The buggy was on rails - nobody could come close, I can't think of a better tyre to use on carpet really. Luckily I had inherited a hefty tyre truer from a friend last year and didn't know what to use it for until now! Cheers, Dan

so a pair of rear doughnuts will do a full set of wheels for a 4wd buggy?
PM me the link!
