[martin34]

Hi guys.I find the super cub decals a little boring to say the least.While looking around I came across the multiplex funcub.I like the decals on the funcub so I have ordered a set.Once I have got them and cut them to shape I will post a pic.

I like the look of the decals on there.
And those are what? 3" wheels?

Thanks mate.I am half way through doing the decals on the wing aswell.I should of probably learnt to flu the cub before I put the decals on but I was bored lol.The wheels are parkzone sport cut and 3 1/2".They are very lite tho as the wheels are hollow and the foam tires are very lite aswell.The stock cub axle isn't long enough tho so I have some du-bro threaded couplers on the way.

If your Dubro couplers don't work to fit the wheels, you may look at taking a Dremel tool or even a small drill and grinding down the wheels are the center to reduce the overall size of the plastic there. You may have to do it on both sides of the wheel to make the things more adaptable to the SC axle. I had to do that with one set of wheels. Your's may actually be too big though. I have not gone that high with a size change for my SC's and I am just guessing. The problem is more aboout that center opening and space through it for the wheel there, I suspect. Not saying you have to drill them out as I said, but just look them over and if your couplers do not work for you, then check and see if drilling away that center wheel plastic on both sides may make those learge wheels adaptable after all. If the wheels are shaky or wabbly, then look at using the spray bottle plastic inner tube as something to cut and then use on the axle to adapt for the size. Let us know how the wheels work out for your. Good luck with it. Nice decal mods.

Thanks for the compliments on the decals.Its coming on nicely .Thanks for the ifo o the wheels and I was originaly going to grind away both sides of the wheel to make them narrower but the sport cub wheels are hollow so if I get it wrong that will be the end of that wheel.There are little steps on either side that I will risk grinding away if the couplers don't work but before that I will drill the holes in the wheel a little bigger and use a spray tube inserted thrugh the middle like you suggest.
