Email me [email protected]How do I get one?
Thanks for the update. I just tried this and 1 wheel broke free from the axle, but didn’t really spin freely. Also the caliper spins with the wheel.Hey Guys just an update the wheels do move! You have to use your finger and break the glue seal. Once that happens the wheels move freely. Just went over it with the manufacturer because of the AT wheels coming. Happy holidays everyone - Matt
no worries mine came free easily. Do you need another one? I’m more then happy to replace it for you- MattThanks for the update. I just tried this and 1 wheel broke free from the axle, but didn’t really spin freely. Also the caliper spins with the wheel.
So….I took the base off and found the wheels, axles, and calipers were all glued together, and axles glued to the base.
If you want the axle to spin, I recommend unscrewing the base (3 screws) and using a razor to cut the glue from the metal axle. It does look like if the initial glue were used a little more carefully on the axles, the calipers could remain stationary and only have the wheels spin when glued to the axles. I say this, because there is a notch that appears it would keep the calipers in the correct place, if the axle could spin freely inside of it. In my case it can’t as the glue is inside the hub of the caliper.
With some additional time and precision, one could probably get the calipers to remain in place and the axle to spin freely.
Still a very detailed model![]()

I was holding out for an R1T, but it's seeming like that may still be a ways out.
