Lots of good stuff here! You can also use those size 11 beads as endcaps on axles, they look great with certain rim types

Not only did you give me some ideas for lifting some of my custom trucks but you helped me solve a major issue I had with a custom HO scale diecast slot car I am building. I needed to figure out a way to design and mount the front axel and you solved it for me. Ill using the metal tubing and come up with a cool way to mount the front axel and then my build should be done. Been pondering this for a few days now and have yet to come up with a solution till now. Thank you. I subbed to your channel.

Very cool idea. Love the light bar trick too. I was trying to find an easy way to lift a vehicle and this seems easiest. I did think about just cutting the frame/base just in front and behind the axles and just epoxy the whole thing to the old base. This way I'm not messing with cutting axles or having to find correct size brass tubes or pins. May make it a but clunky but thats the underside.

@MAXSDIECASTS_PFM9 жыл бұрын
FYI, I get my pins at Ace Hardware. Ask for “spring tension pins” in the following sizes: 1/8, 5/8, 3/4. If you're looking for some at Lowes, I was told they don't carry them. Also, I buy the 16th inch aluminum tubing at Hobby Lobby.

artistic amnesia you can get them at the hardware store, but they don't usually have a whole lot of them, ive started buying mine in bulk on ebay, I know they are 1/8 in diameter, but cant exactly remember right off the top of my head the lengths that I use, I use 2 different lengths depending on the base. I think in the first lift kit video that I did, I listed the size of them at the beginning, they are also called roll pins in some cases

SIC diecast If you put 2- tension pins (cut or bought at an average size people would be using) 2- of the rods (bout to match pins) 4-8 beads (cause they are easy to lose) An instruction manual Helpline email address Link to step by step video I think you could sell some lift kits Now if you could also offer or make an extra option....... 4- tires/with pin (maybe even a choice of tire, large small, plastic, real riders) 1-med sized square of sand paper 1-small tube of super glue Then you could have a 100% complete lift kit You would have to But in bulk and sell at a good reasonable price......but you may be able To make some side cash.
