Sick of loose axles?

[eetoi]

Hey everyone, I have had my dual-celled bit for a while (believe me, you need to dual cell your bit, it is too much fun) and whenever I change my gear ratios, the axle holder gets looser and looser. I got so frustrated since it kept falling out, I thought about it for a while, and here's what I did:

I got my hot soldering iron (on 20 watts), and poked some holes to the left and to the right of the axle hole (actually a little lower, so it held the axle in place, not binded it) so it pushed some plastic outwards, (on the gear side, that was the only side I had problem with), then I let it cool, and.... It stayed! Has anyone else tried this? Do I sound stupid? Was this a wasted space of the forum? It worked for me...

I never wrote in this forum before but i have been checkin things out for a while. Pretaining to what you just said i actually did the exact same thing when my axles werent holdin well, it is very important to keep the mesh between the gears tight. Also if the mesh isnt that tight under hard torque the left wheel rear will move along with the right rear, both the movements are opposites and thats what causes your bit to veer off to one side when the wheels spin, its kinda like torque steer and an open differential. In pursuit of complete drift control i am trying to solve the problem, but im not sure how well my idea will work, luckaly i also really dont care. I have gears on both sides of the axle, and used an old axel to link the two spur gears (I think its called the spur gear, the one not attached to the wheels or motor), so it should keep torque equally applied to both wheels. I relieze that the torque would obviously be equal with one gear on the solid axle, but the two gears keep the axel from moving at all in the shaft, so it has no play. I just felt like doing this, will it work? yeah it'll work but im not sure if its gonna prevent the bit from veering off to one side when the wheels are spinning. I thought i should voice my opinion, and you guys have some nice, nice bits, more people need to focus on the actual tuner shops that work on these skylines and RX7s, and whatever whatever. I have a Tiny replica of the HKS track attack EVO VII, and im working on Matchless Crowd Racing Skyline and RE Amemeiya RX7 and im almost done with my custom DC5 Integra Type R bit

Or you could do a much more simple thing and insert a matchstick into the slot in the bottom of the car (It will go over the rear axle). If you want it to be more durable you could use sheet metal custom cut. I cant find the picture I made of it right now, but I'll look.

yeah, actually i did both of those things, but i did the matchstick one on a different car a while ago. The sheet metal piece worked pretty well actually, but i didnt like the fact that i couldn't take my rear wheel off any more. Plus I just wanted to see how much additional friction and power loss would be made from having to rotate an extra gear and shaft. For drifting power loss would not be too bad because its so easy to get the wheels to spin as soon as you hit the turbo.
