|  Source for pillow blocks (for 5mm or 6mm shafts)
Anyone have any sources for pillow blocks? This is basically EXACTLY what I want but $12 each seems steep? I'd prefer 5mm but 6mm will work if need be. http://www.robotshop.ca/lynxmotion-p...ock-pb-02.html |

It's not as pretty, but you could make one out of a axle carrier.

In all actuality,12 bucks for a part like that REALLY ain't that bad. Unless you sources them out to a chinese sweat shop.  I could make something like that pretty easy at the shop myself,for $12 though....I'd just buy the dumb thing. |

I used the nylon/plastic sleeve bearing in a 2.2 crawler build... worked fine all season and inexpensive. 5mm #6687K31 6mm #6687K32   |

When I built the drive lines on the Man-kat 8x8 I used a tlt knuckle with the arm shaved off and mounted with the 2 pivot holes, works great for 3 years and only cost about 35 cents + bearings  isn't as small as those but its solid.

Kona joe, i actually seen those and got my attention but do you think they will last at 10,000rpm? I didnt think they would last long. Might just have to cough up $30. I was just thinking there might be something stock out there cheaper. | |

If you are limited as far as space goes, you could do what I did. I made a carrier out of a piece of 3mm aluminum (bent at the correct angle), drilled an 5/16" hole in it and pressed in a 5x8 flanged bearing held with 609 Loctite. Not the prettiest but works great and cheap. |
