help with rear axel
 

hey i borrowed my friends sipsap today.(waiting for mine to come in mail)anyways, the rear axel is loose and the pinion does not always touch it.does anyone know how to tighten it. any help would be great.thanx

whoops
i should have written zip zap not sip sap.
sory

Take an exacto and slice the chassis just behind the hole that holds the axle in place. On the side that houses the battery. This makes a gap that closes the hole slightly when the plastic is cut and produces the gap. Fill this gap with epoxy. This mod works very well and is barely noticeable. What you are doing is making a sliver of plastic that bends inward closing the hole. Filling behind the sliver of plastic ensures it stays put.

pictures?

I'll try. The problem is that the computer that I use for graphics has my scanner and Photoshop on it but the monitor died. I need to get it going again and will post pics then.

good idea
 

I will try doing just that to my loose axel.
Thanks
