|  6x6 build and how to
ok after reciving the axles (tamiya truck axles;a twin rear set) i spoted a problem. the lip all around the axles meant that the piece of metal that i was going to use to connect the two would not be as strong as i would have liked, so i decided to cut the lip back and show you how how i did it. more info in the notes after the pics.  i did all the work on a white bath towel for two reasons, 1 to protect the 3 week old table and 2 to make the pics a it better  this is a close up of the ridges  this is the tool i used, as you can see it is a bog standard utility knife  this is the way i cut it, first the vertical then the horizantal  finally complete soz for the poor pics as i use a phone camera more to follow you may find that to sand it after if a good idea james Last edited by james12s; 04-28-2007 at 10:02 AM. |
