|  Axle Question I was just looking at the pinion yokes on my X-Factor axles and they are different lengths. Is it supposed to be this way? I got the axles of eBay so I don’t have the instructions and didn’t build the them. |

| Re: Axle Question I don't know Neo! I have never noticed the pinions being different lengths. That seems odd, as both of the axles are identical(I think). You missed the get together this weekend. |

| Re: Axle Question Yea to bad I missed the breakfast and crawl. I was at DU I think, getting help from the machinist there making some pillow blocks for my schools FIRST robotics competition. How did you find the spot under the bridge? Also I measured the yokes on my axles and they are: 24.5mm with a 7mm flat spot and 23.5mm with a 6mm flat. I really hope I didn’t get cheated. BT I have been trying to register on the Global Hobbies X-Factor forum but I keep getting an error, do you know of anyone else who has gotten this problem? Finally Dirk are you Digler Factor on RCMT? |

| Re: Axle Question Could be because I have CompuServe which is owned by AOL. |

| Re: Axle Question I checked my pinions and they are slightly different, a few thou. I have yet to experience any problems because of it. The OEM drive shafts never had trouble being bolted on. I do have to mod the Maxx slider yoke to slide on a little farther. This is needed because the edge distance for the hole through the pinion wouldn't be enough for long term operation. Kris |

| Re: Axle Question Thanks IBCRUSN I feel better now. Is the longer one in the rear or front? |

| Re: Axle Question They are both in a parts bag right now. If I recall I think the longer one was in the rear. Either way it shouldn't matter. Kris |
