What kind of glue are you guys using to bond the housings back together after cutting them? Thanks

| Re: Narrowing wraith axles. I use a 2 part golf shaft epoxy. It's not totally brittle when cured. No matter what you do you'll need an internal tube to support the housing after cutting. I've used old male drive shaft parts from an scx10. Others have used beef tubes (cut down) or made their own tubes out of brass/Al/Steel.

Here's another option. Depending how narrow you want to be, I took 1/2" off my sportsman without cutting the tubes at all. Ugly Betty |
