Description
These are 3D printed adapters to allow the mounting of standard R/C F1 tires on the wheels from the original design.
After printing the included tires with both TPU and NinjaFlex I decided that it needed real tires.
I posted a driving demo with all 3 of my designs installed on the car: https://youtu.be/g154r7Dcjas

Standard F1 Rubber Tire Adapters:https://pinshape.com/items/17752-3d-printed-openrc...
Instructions: Print 6x "Tire_Adapter_Supported" and 2x "Tire_Adapter_Supported_Front_Inner".
Print the original rear wheels as-is.
Print the front wheels, but set your slicer software to remove the bottom 6mm off of them. (In Cura the setting is called "cut off object bottom") This will allow you to use the narrower front tires that the normal F1 cars use.
Remove the support rings.
Press the adapters on both the inner and outer ends of the wheels and glue them with CA glue or similar.
Fill the gap with a foam insert of your choice and mount up your new tires!
The tires I used are: Sweep SW-F1FM 1/10 Formula 1 Front Tires V2 - Medium (2pcs with inserts) http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__65461_...
and Sweep SW-F1RM 1/10 Formula 1 Rear Tires V2 - Medium (2pcs with inserts)

Hi Ryan,
Karen here again! Just wanted to assure you that this design does qualify for the OpenRC contest!
this would not qualify! rules state "Design any car accessory that is compatible with the holes in the updated Open RC design files" for your info in case you are trying to win.,
I suggest you re-read the rules. It clearly states, "you are free to design any accessory that will fit into these designated holes or onto the car."
