Are the Super wheels easy to put on standard axles?
Or do you need to buy a separate axle. I own most Scalextric, some FLY and a few other brands but 90% of my collection is Scalextric/Fly. Just want to know if I can just by the tires and wheels and replace then on my current axles or not. Most “standard” axles are knurled – the knurled ends are actually slightly larger than the rest of the axle. Because the knurled ends are slightly larger, they will not fit on aftermarket “set screw” wheels such as the Super Wheels DF. Even if the knurled ends were the correct size/diameter, they would damage the inner wheel (axle) bore and adversely affect the wheel’s performance (wobble, hop). For cars with knurled axles, you’ll need to replace them with aftermarket axles. For Super Wheels DF (and Super Wheels SS), the wheels were actually designed and manufactured to work with the Slot.it SIPA-01 3/32″ axle. Note that once you replace the axle, most racers will also replace the rear bushings and crown/spur gear. The stock bushings are slightly over
