Pro-Axle Guide - New Pro Tool from Derby Worx

[MaxV]

Maximum Velocity has just introduced the Pro-Axle Guide, the latest Pro-Tool from Derby Worx.

The Pro-Axle Guide The Pro-Axle Guide ensuring accurate mounting of axles on kits with axle slots, and also assists in mounting axles in holes.

The Pro-Axle Guide:

Axle Insertion - Ensures accurate mounting of axles (in axle slots) to improve alignment. Accurate alignment is critical for top speed!

Wheel-to-body Spacing - Establishes the correct gap between the wheel hub and car body. The proper gap minimizes car wander and reduces excess contact between the car body and the wheel hubs.

and an added bonus:

Reduced Risk of Block Damage - During the insertion process the Pro-Axle Guide provides support to the wood around the axle slot, minimizing the risk of damage.

Thanks MaxV. That tool looks great. In fact, my brother in law was trying make my son a jig by welding plate steel together at a 90 degree angle and cutting a notch for the axle. This looks much better and won't break his toes if he drops it.

Looks good !!!!

What is the wheel to body spacing? I have read several conflicting figures.

[MaxV]

The gap gauge is 0.035, over just over 1/32. This is the same as the plastic gap gauge from PineCar and BSA.

Randy - I received the Pro-Axle Guide in the tool kit - Had a question on the gap - The Derby Worx instructions say to push on a flat surface till the axle stops for BSA wheels - push the axle in further for non-BSA wheels. Seems to leave a wider gap for BSA when I check with the gaping tool that came with the Max-V lube and with the BSA alignment tool. Should the gap gauge be checked against the hub by pushing further on the axle or with the outside of the wheel on a flat surface leaving a further gap on the hub. Using the new BSA wheels.

[MaxV]

With the new wheels, you will need to press the wheel in further. You can use the gap gauge on the Pro-Axle Guide or a separate gap gauge.
