Tamiya cargo truck instructions-help understanding

FYI they are quite common on Tamiya kits. Originally designed to allow the suspension to rotate in their motorized kits; they have kept the poly caps so the wheels can be added after the underside of the hull or undercarriage of a truck is painted.

Thank you all!!

I found them. I did not know what I was looking for, and they were in one of the large bags I almost threw away.

Here is a picture of the poly caps from a Tamiya Pzkw Ausf.D kit on my shelf. This should give you an idea of what you are looking for in the box.

Sorry about the picture quality, as it was shot with an Iphone, but should be good enough for a quick reference.

That is them. They allow the wheels to be workable without glueing them on.

The poly cars are small pieces of black rubber that fit between the wheel and the tire and go onto the axle.
