Re: I need some live axil design tips!
Snap rings are quite useful in the right applications. As was mentioned before me though, you need to be careful with tolerances when using snap rings. I favor using spacers to keep the wheel seated linearly on the shaft. This way you can adjust to the exact spacing you need on the fly. It may be slightly heavier, but I enjoy the adjust-ability. I've made successful drive systems using both methods.
