McMasterCarr also has 1/4'' solid delrin rod for .55 cents a ft. You will need a 1/4'' drill guide to center drill the delrin,but this is very cost effective for making your own spacers.I know they make 5/16'' delrin tube with the proper i.d. for a 3mm screw. |

When you say ''oversize'' 1/4'' is that more like 5/16''? I've seen some @ the hobbyshop before that i believe they got from Mcmaster that was labled 1/4'' and had the hollow hole that a 3mm would tap into,but it was actually bigger then 1/4''. | |

so i gave this a try using my stock AXIAL wheels and i dont think it came out to bad i still need to get ahold of some hubs then make my new face plates. i also need to buy some spacers i gave a try at making my own. well i dont have a drill press so i tried this with the drill it went fairly well but next time i think i will use a 4"grinder with a cut off wheel insted of the dremel tool thanks for showing me how to do this it saved a few bucks sesne i dont need to buy new ones now |

That would be 1\8in acrylic,so far they are holding up i hav'nt taken a big fall with them yet. Some say they might be to brittle.

Are you using spacers between the hub and the face of the wheel? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 |

Very cool mod. I have a set of proline beadlock slash wheels with shredded hex's I think I will see if this will work on them. Thanks for the great write up.

I am on this also with some old axials that worked well last night. I am debating what to use as spacers to make sure they are exact, yet not insanely expensive. I have a pretty good small project chop saw and will probably get some aluminum tube and just be really careful to make sure my cuts are precise.
