Re: Live axel on kit skyways?

What I've done in the past for a prototype is found a washer that fits right into the little step in the plastic in the hub. Put ont on each side. Put some threaded rod through. Couple nuts to clamp those washers into the wheel real tight. Couple more nuts to hold the first nuts. You're good to go. Balance may be a problem though.

Re: Live axel on kit skyways?

if you use a clamp type system using a piece of rubber inside as a spacer will help to eliminate vibration and keep it close to balanced if you take your time when making it

Re: Live axel on kit skyways?

We used taper locks from McMaster Carr

We just bored the skyway wheel to 7/8" and put in the taper lock. We used a 1/2" shaft. McMaster sells these for all standard sizes. They are a little expensive, but they do a great job.

Here is the part number for the ones we used: 5926K16

Good luck!
