Axle Diameter
 

Hi everyone:

I am building a mobile platform and need to use hubs from monster trucks to attach the gearboxes to the wheels. I am thinking of using 14mm hubs like these:

They are kinda pricey but I need metal (if you can offer any suggestions for alternatives then I am all ears). My issue....

I do not know the axle diameter of the clod or txt-1 (I assume they are the same). Will someone please measure the diameter of the axle (round metal contact area [with no spline or threading if applicable]) with a caliper (preferably in mm since it's usually a button push away). If the above is not clear, what I am looking for is the internal diameter of your present hubs.

This information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

I think it was 5mm ;-)
But not completely sure on that sorry

Thanks for the reply! If someone knows for sure then that would be great. Actually, let me expand the question...does anyone know what hubs have 6mm internal diameter?

Thanks,
Kevin

The outer stub axles are 6mm in diameter, or 5.98 on my caliper. Internal measurement of the bearings list at 6mm.

6mm stubs, 6x12 bearings, Lock nut on the end is 4mm.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Totally unrelated note but I don't wanna make a new post just to whine :)....It would be nice if I could see the FS section (even if I can't sell anything, it would be nice to have the option to buy without posting 30 times)...I want to build a unit but because I don't know enough to give advice and I don't wanna ask dumb questions and get flamed, I probably won't have enough posts to ever buy anything here...oh well :( .....
Unless anyone here has electronics based questions :)? (yes...this is a thinly veiled request for you guys to help my post count...lol)

That can be easily fixed, purchase a "STAR" and you'll get more access than just the FS forum. You'll be able to host pics, enter the contests, plus you'll be giving a little back to the site "thumbsup"
