Axial axle threads? Which die? Anyone cut adtl. threads before?

[GTSLOW]

Greetings! Looking to add threads on my Axial universals. Reason is I'm running RC4WD narrow hubs and woild like to avoid running a bunch of washers/spacers between the nut and the hub.

Has anyone done this before?

What is the thread? I believe the size is M4.

Thank you.

I added a few threads to my VS410 axles, just takes a M4 die and some patients.



Since I don't have any fancy holding fixtures, I used my drill to hold the axle shafts while I put the die to them. It is slow going but not terribly hard.

Thanks for the response. Did you use M4 x 0.7mm?

M4x.7mm is the one. It is the much more commonly available thread pitch of the M4 die options.
