Hello everyone, I have a 303 chassis that has a loose wheel. I can not find info on the correct wheel spacing, can anyone help?

Thanks

If the other driver set is OK, then measure that set. My 303 measures .712 -.722 to the backside of the wheels on both driver sets, about 23/32" (.718").

A simple trick for measuring the correct gauge in 1/64 scale is that a US dime should fit exactly between the backside of the wheels. Just touching, not tight.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
