Make sure to disassemble all the 'prebuilt' parts and make sure they are right.

Just think if this was a RTR - thing wouldn't even drive.

Oh it is so bad they would have caught the CVA axles because the pin will not even get close.

I would try to go by the AKA youtube video gluing method and put some more in there, it should stick...

I put more glue on the hump and held it down. It fixed it a little but still not perfect like the others. Is it that bad? Will it still be ok for a back tire?

Ok, I must be mistaken on my hole size. I'll double check my leather punch when I get home. I'm using the second to smallest size. I went by a recommendation by someone from AKA, I believe, here on RCT, so I'm betting it's not 1/8" like I thought. Probably 3/32" or so. I'll measure the punch with my calipers tonight and post up the results.

it'll be fine.

I have tires I run that have come unglued and got clay in them. I scrape the clay out and put some glue in. work fine.

it may have a small bump in it but it'll work.

if your checking your screws and stuff after racing you'll be fine. These buggies are very tough

If you use a drill bit go with a 1/16" bit as it will close up since its rubber and do the opposite side as well. If you use a punch a 32nd will do fine.

Ok, I measured the opening of the punch, and it's 0.0.76" ID, so roughly 5/64".

Sorry guys, I was way off on my 1/8" quote!!

Haha, that sounds a bit better!

Btw, Cherryville, NC is dirt oval only. I found a forum for tracks in the Carolina's. There's quite a few of them. I've posted questions about nearly each location. I'll post my findings once I get responses.

I bent my front CVs last weekend at A Main Hobbies. I'm not paying $25 for new ones. They are getting bent back
