Anyone know where you can find metric sizes of aluminum/titanium threaded rods? All I can find are in inches. Here's where I got mine: http://www.alliedtitanium.com/products/toc_ThreadedRodAndStuds.php Good luck! How long did these take to ship? Do you have a link to your specific rod, since all th...

As for axles: I'm currently using a hollow aluminum tube, but I read somewhere that it bends too much (haven't actually tested it yet), so maybe something like brass would work better although heavier.

I am repairing it and hopefully my PID control will work this time :/ I don't know how to properly employ it. As for the pivoting front axle... I tes...

I have recently hit a road block with my fixed steering design. The inner circles of my ball bearings for my front wheels wiggle side to side about .1mm. I am using premium skate board bearings. The wiggle room translates to 10+ cm of inaccuracy. I'm stuck and might have to switch my Ackerman steer...
