Integy Setup station
I did a search and could not find any information on this. I bought the Integy setup station to setup my 1/10 touring cars. As you may know, the adaptors that come with the station are 4mm. My Associated FTTC4 is 8/32 and I can't use this station with it. I have a TC5r which is 4mm and it works great with that chassis. Any ideas how I can uses it with the 8/32 axle's? I have talked with Integy and they are no help. Does anyone have experience with this issue and can help me out? Thanks
btw I posted a thread about tapping the 4mm adaptors to 8/32 and that seems like a bad idea |
I just used a wheel nut.
|
all depends on which one he bought. the integy set station i have has the wheel nuts that slip through a bearing and then are screwed onto the axle. i bet if you search on integys site you might find them. they have so much stuff on there its insane.
|
Get a set of something like this.
|
good call. not sure they will work with the integy. well at least not mine. but i dont know what model the op has. integy makes quite a few different styles. mine has a shouldered nut that slips thru a bearingand then attaches to the station. ill dig up a pic.

This is the setup station that I have, I was leaning toward having a guy make a set of the adaptors in 8/32 size to use with it. |
same one i have. wasnt a real fan of how the wheels attach. but it works. mine is the red model.

Talked to a tool and die man about making some adaptors, keeping my fingers crossed

looks at the picture in the link. the nuts have a reliefed area that slips thru a bearing. they are slightly larger than the axle. for the station to be used correctly the nut has to slip thru the bearing in order for it to be precise. http://www.integy.com/st_prod.html?p...3#.Uyx_JoWKbKB
i will inlclude a pic of mine (same) to show what im talking about. |

here are some pics of mine. same model. the nut slips thru the bearing and then onto the axle.
|
sombody had also suggested those nuts also. integy makes a weird setup station. it works but i dont prefer the mounting style. i like the way the hudy and the older integy setup stations mount the wheels. with the wheel nuts you suggested.
|
It would be nice if the axle fit through the bearing tightly, but it does not. Integy makes only the 4mm adaptor for this setup station, which they claim is the industry standard, at least that is what they told me. Only my TC5 has the 4mm wheel nuts, so I need to buy or have someone make 8/32 for the other cars that I have.
|
the setup they have for the attachment is not industry standard. not in the least. if i had know it was like it is i would have bought a different brand. trying to save a little. but it does fit my f1 car also. i had to make an adapter/spacer to fit the front axles. but its nice to be able to mount it up and make adjustments on the f1 car now.

I currently have a service ticket at the Integy website asking about buying an additional set of 4mm adaptors. After doing some research I am going to drop that idea because there is not enough material in the 4mm adaptor to tap it to 8/32 thread I know the tool and die maker pretty well, and I believe he can make an 8/32 adaptor for me, which will make the station worth much more than it is now |
