Re: Scrambler Rules
so your saying that the axle is spinning, the car's moving forward but the wingnut isn't spinning...
thats what's suppose to happen. if you spin the wheel enough eventually the wingnut will move up/down/ the axle until it crashes into the side.

Re: Scrambler Rules
mind telling us what the 0 is? is the wingnut spinning in circles with the axle?
Re: Scrambler Rules
because if it is then all you need is to add a suspension rod - someone had the same issue earlier in this thread.

Re: Scrambler Rules
I think (s)he means that the axle itself is traveling sideways. If this is the case, it is because the thread is grabbing the wood and you need to drill out the hole and put a bushing in, which is like a sleeve.cooltiger wrote:I'm having some problems with the scambler, paticuarly the axel. For some reson the axel seems to be moving as it goes through the wood like a nut on a thread rod. How can I stop this?
If it's just that the wingnut spins, you need the suspension rod. Put a thin dowel across the car parallel to the axle so that the wingnut hits it.
