How to make narrow M18B front wheels

Here's how I make the narrow front wheels for the M18B.
1st picture: Cut the inner set of ridges off and save this piece for later.
2nd picture: Mark off 19mm and cut away the excess part (it is already done in the picture).
3rd picture: Glue the part you cut off in the first picture back on to the rest of the wheel. It is easiest to flip this part and glue it on as there is in indentation that allows it to sit perfectly onto the rest of the wheel.
4th picture: Finished...

It is best to use a tire truer and a razor blade to do this. Use safety glasses of course! I apologize for the lousy pics, I didn't have any new wheels to do this to so I had to take apart an old one.

I finally got some pictures of my x-ray with the narrow fronts. Not the best quality but still ok. One note: I ended cutting the inside width to about 12mm rather than 19. Still need to try them out at the track though. The wing and wing mount are from a vendetta. The body is for the rc18b. It is a really tight fit as you can tell from the pictures (cut outs for space and air flow).
