btw what was it about the shafts that you found in the rules?
The only bad thing about those sets are that you can't just get the sprockets for the wheels. Our team needs to buy 8 more to get our 6WD working and we are going to need to buy 4 sets at 80 bucks, that is not fun. We are currently trying to trade for them, otherwise, we are going to get them made. We hope to be able to get them for less than 40 bucks a piece

You may now buy individual sprockets from IFI.

Re: Skyway 4WD Help

Oh, Thanks. On monday our team called IFI and they said that they were not planning on offering individual sprockets anytime soon.

Thanks So much

Re: Skyway 4WD Help

the 3/8 bolt is to small for the bearings
the wheels end up being very wobbly

For the sake of accuracy, IFI is now selling individual kit sprockets.
