I've heard some disscussion about "needle axles"
Could someone explain and or show a photo of needle axles.
What are the adantages/drawbacks??
I need some "Ed-a-ma-kay-shun" (That's Redneck for knowledge)

Thanks builderjim,
Do the wheel bores need to be resized to compliment
the smaller diameter of the axle?
Are needle axles a byproduct of liquid lubes (NYOIL,KRYTOX ect)?

YES is the answer to the first question if you don't purchase the RSN or the SSN wheels.
No is the answer to the second question. Must have been good engineering.

Randy,
he was looking at the SSN wheels not RSN wheels. Did you miss putting them on your site?

Randy and Jim,
I'm working on my car for the December Wirl Races. Will there be any need to do any additional preparation to the axles & wheels or can I go straight to lubing them.

Whats the best method for resizing the bores for needle axles? 5 minute epoxy,Devcon, 10megawatt plasma blaster.... Is resizing with the above considered "bushing"  |
