Nicky G Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Fitting the Front Left Tyre Regular vs Stage 14B: Fitting the Front Left Tyre (Easy) What's the difference!?! I can see it uses different parts - but is Regular closer to the actual model and easy is not? Also, overall the instructions just show pictures/arrows - doesnt mention using glue - etc... Take the T-800 build DETAILED narrative was provided. Thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franknstang Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I have not looked at the problem that you mention. I would look at the instructions for the W196 on IXO website to see if they offered an answer however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffy Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Yes, the regular is more realistic as it uses individual spokes, unlike the easy version which is basically 2 discs with the necessary gaps, leaving a flat spoke finish. I made mine with the spokes, it looks a lot better. Also, I found that the spokes were easier to complete than the ones I did on the Jaguar. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Mark, The Master Modeller Posted March 15, 2023 Administrator Share Posted March 15, 2023 The regular wheels are more difficult to build that the easy wheels, but they look much better. You get parts for both, so you can try both and see which you prefer. The regular wheels are still easier to build that the Jag wheels. Taffy has summed it up nicely. Regarding glues... there are only a few places where glue is needed, where the push fit doesn't hold tight. I only used superglue when I assembled the model for Agora. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franknstang Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I just began building regular wheels. There are 16/6 tires and 16/7 tires . What size tires belong on the Regular spoke wheels? Are they interchangeable with either wheel, easy or regular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffy Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that the 16/6 are the front tires and the 16/7 are the rear tires. There does not appear to be any difference between the tires for the regular wheels or the easy ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franknstang Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 That makes sense. Stylistically it will look nice as well. I will go with that plan for now and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Harvey Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I am confused on my Agora Merc 196W I have 3 sets of wheels easy, regular (1) and regular (2) the instructions show you how to build all 3. I cannot work out the difference between regular (1) and (2) I have 4 of each. (2) has just short spokes and less chrome (1) has short and long spokes. Is it an option or front and back. Any ideas anyone? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
