      theres a new wheel upgrade kit for zipzaps i jus got. it comes with spacers to make tha wheels wider to fit tha new wider tires. their pretty wide. like 3 normal ZZ tires stuck together

      zz hub caps are designed to be used with zz wheels. and bcg’s are designed to drive on tabletops. see where i’m going with this? i’ve never tried it but with a little grinding and glueing i’ll bet it can be done. and when someone says “don’t bother it’s too hard” then prove em wrong!:8ball:

      I’ve done it. It works well. I took the front rims off the ZZ knuckles and put them on the bcg knuckles. The back rims come off easily. The only problem was that the front wheels are a little bigger than the regular bcg wheels, so you’ll have to file/dremmel out some room on the front wheel wells on a bit. They are also a little heavier, so you might want to put an extra return spring on the steering. Maybe not though. Try it first, then decide if you want the extra return spring.
