spindles
« on: January 05, 2022, 02:46:50 PM »
Anyone have a trick for me? How do you keep the spindle tight between the a-frames. The bottom is part of the frame, top is a glue on piece. What can I do to ensure the spindle won't fall out? Been doing hobby a long time, fighting this for a long time. I'm getting older and may not have a lot of "long times" left! LOL

I use a tension method. When o glue the top, bottom or bothe a frames onto the chassis it ensure the space left foe the spindles is smaller than required. Once the glue dries, I spread them apart and insert the spindles. This method also tightens the steering up too. Good luck, from one old timer to another!

Tks, that's "sort" of the method I've been using. The results (for me) have been some good, some not so good. Appreciate the response!

Rett, I make my own for the AMT chassis. Probably not what you're looking for, but heres a link in case anyone is interested, or, just needs something to help put them to sleep.
