Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks man!
One other stupid question. When you mount the body (mazda 6) The rear wheels arn't in the wheel well indents on the body. I lined up the front so there in the wheel wells but the back isn't. I have allways just cut the wheel wells to the wheel base of the car but, an I doing this wrong? Should I lengthen the wheel base of the car to match the body I am running?
Thanks
P.S. The bumper is right up against the inside of the body and the wheel wells line right up.

FYI theres 2 diffrents part# I believe one for the fronts and the other one is for the rear..
you could also use Tamiya 48mm Steel Bones too..

Surely this would just create a "locked one-way" where both wheels can free-wheel but have to spin together, and not a proper spool?

I ordered a set of those, but I was sent Mini Z bearings instead. All you would have to do is drill a hole in the middle of the oneway and a hole in the middle of the out drive conector thingy, thats what I was going to do.

Buying is easy, making/modifying it yourself is satisfying especially when you have the machines to do it properly
