ah... I thought that maybe they were magnetic... and held the wheels on with new rare earth magnets, that allowed for rapid tire changes

....BAH!! Everyone KNOWS they are MAGNETIC!! lol...the wheels are held on by a prayer...they ship with a little book of hymns and a little mat for you to kneel on...our Father, which rc's in heaven, give us this day our daily run...

2.in the manual it shows part IH29 at the wheels

Perhaps, it's a photo of an 1/8th scale. My Mugen has a shaft like that: a threaded collar slides over the shaft, a pin goes through the threaded collar, then the wheel slides over the shaft onto the threaded collar, and then a nut holds the wheel onto the threaded collar.

I believe those are not axle shafts but the diff out drives. The pin in the shaft is in the inside gear that reside in the diff cup. like theses:

I agree that the number is for the stub axle. The lettering talks about axle. The picture is not of a stub axle, it is another part. If there were threads there it would be a picture of a stub axle. Since there are parts that look exactly like this and they are used in the differentials, I think they used the wrong part for the picture.
If you come up with a way to mount wheels, then I will call it an axle. You can cut the threads yourself with a die. That might be the way to go because you can determine the length of the threads to suit your purpose.
Just thought I would mention that is sure looks like the diff drive cup.
:cool:

well its not that big of a deal... I was just wondering since I saw the pic on eBay... I don't need the axles and I don't really think I ever will...


oh well.. I'll just chalk it up to people that don't know which pics are which :rolleyes:
