Re: Wheels
Ummm those are T81 wheels, not T40s. You'd have to get T81 hubs, not T40 hubs.waffletree wrote:Oh lord thats really expensive...I think I'm planning on using http://www.banebots.com/product/T81P-293BG.html.MadCow2357 wrote:Just one.

Re: Wheels
Is it worth investing in bearings rather than just drilling holes for the axles to go through?
If so, where should I purchase bearings and which ones would work best?
If the past two are true, how do I apply the bearings to the chassis?
I'm sorry for so many questions but regionals are appoaching quickly and I still have no idea what I'm doing (T-T)

1) Yes! Might be a tad bit costly tho.Hopelessnewbie wrote:Is it worth investing in bearings rather than just drilling holes for the axles to go through?

2) Amazon sells a lot if you're on a tight budget.
3) Make wooden/3d printed hubs, or drill larger holes for the bearing to fit in, and glue it.
You can message me if you have any specific questions, I'm happy to help.

Re: Wheels
Because of the low weight and relatively slow speed,low friction bushings will work very well. Go to IGUS and fill out the information for the Y.E.S. program and they will send them to you FREE!. They have both metric and SAE sizes. They also have bearings, but that is quit a bit more work to do well and is not necessary.

Re: Wheels
This doesn't have much to do with wheels, but I didn't want to clutter the forum, so I just stuck it on here...
I'm using threaded rods as axles, but I've run into this problem where spinning them causes the entire axle to move in that direction, as well as all of the knuts and gears on the rod. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to hold the axle in place without choking it's rotation entirely. How do I do this?

Re: Wheels
You can try using 8 nuts in total: 4 on each side, 2 on each side of the hole. Use the two and tighten them against each other, locking the two in place. Repeat 4 times.Hopelessnewbie wrote:This doesn't have much to do with wheels, but I didn't want to clutter the forum, so I just stuck it on here...

Green lines are nuts. Tighten those against each other. Red is the threaded rod, and black is the chassis.
