Gmade sawback problem

[jacobismynickname]

Hello my front wheels wobble like crazy on my gmade and also my back ones not as much too how can I fix this?

It is not the rubber the tires are Axial and are glued

Are you 100% positive the wheels wobble? Often the tires wobble and it makes it look like the wheels are wobbling.

If not, tighten your wheel nuts. I don't know what else would cause the wobble.

Well i got it super tight as tight as i could and it still wobbles when i drive it it on pavement it.

screws on the steering knuckles all accounted for and tight?

What hexs are you using this can cause wobble.

So I agree....check hexes....if they are stock frankly u may hv just glued up tires out of round....u can do the same jus beadlocking....take ur time...if glued ur stuck....if u pu rears on front does it do the same thing?

 

[konasubs]

Also stock foams like the scx10 wheels u are using if wet wear out easily and foam bunching can case the wobble....

Could be a lot of things.
Tires not centeren on wheels.
Bent axle.
Wrong hex.
Worn bearing.
Loose hub or wheel nut.

You are not alone. It is almost impossible to achive a perfect wheel that turn straigh without some wobbling with this system. The ring bedlock uses a weatherstrip tape to prevent the tire to turn in the rim and when you tighten the screws the weathearstrip start to wrinkles causing a non perfect fit. I am planning to change hese wheels soon because when turning they looks like an old dump truck from the fifties. Even if the rims are beautifull the wheel system is not. I prefer the glued tires to this poor system

i have the same problem with mine. i have stock tires on rc4wd wheels. i tightened the beadlocks in star pattern as to not over-torque one side of the wheel.
foams have not gotten wet
knuckles are assembled correctly (rears wobble too)
the tires were however packaged poorly and came bent out of shape.
SO i am curious as well...

If you can make the wheel wobble without turning it, then you have worn axles or a broken bearing.
But if the wheel wobbles the same way with every full turn, then it could be any of the aforementioned reasons or drivepin sitting wrong in the hex.

i have 2 of these and figured out the hex hubs a pretty soft.the more you tighten the more it pulls them sideways on the pins.i use kyosho split hubs on one and use the black axial hubs with a set screw on the other.now they both turn very true.

If your using a thinner hex on the axle this could cause this problem. Either use a thicker hex or drill it out the wheel hex slightly so the hex will fit properly. In my case I was using a small hex on the axle and it wouldn't allow the wheel to fit all the way onto the hex. I drilled out the hole on the wheel hex. It fixed the wobble on mine. 4MM hole on the wheel hex going onto the 5MM non threaded part of the axle is a no go."thumbsup"
