Build my own wide Axle

mbi0 - 16-9-2010 at 08:30 AM

Hello to everyone

I would like to know if any one of you has a flexifoil buggy extra wide axle and could give me the measures to build one my self ?

I want to do this because my old flexifoil buggy was pretty hard to get and to get a extra wide axle will be a pain since there arent any distribuitors near me and shipping cost + custums cost will be very high

so i hope u can help me out with the meassures and angles i must do since i know it extends to the sides and to the back as well.

thanks in advance

If you want to build 2, I'll happily pay you for the second! (seriously)

I've been trying to land this axle for a while but It's not easy here in the states.

The back axle is 135 cm. Then measuring from the axle it's 25cm to a 30 deg. bend and the last part the side rails go into is 17cm. Hope that helps.

I Guess ill be doing it soon hopefully on sunday ill just like to know what in-oxidable tube measure should i use for back axle would a 6mm be enough or should i do my idea of fiting a smaller diameter tube inside the outter tube and so on until i cant fit any new tubes and then weld em all on the outside XD


would that be a good idea ??
