ballraced front end

Anyone had any problems with the Mardave ballraced front end?
My wheels do not run true. The ballraces are an extremely tight fit in the wheels, I think this might be the problem. Anyone had this bother?

Hi ya

Yes we all have. . . and as there is no instructions from Mardave or any thing on the web Site I feel this is a good product gone bad

Any way the axles need a bit of emery paper over them hold axle in dremell or Batt drill and with a little sanding at a time try the fit

thats all I can tell you

I bined mine and went back to the old ones

Yes i had the same problem and did the same mod but still had problems even after replacing the bearings too!
Also i found it made the car to positive on the front and did not suit my driving style.
I ended up chucking them and put the good old front end on and went quicker

LOL well there you go even Nick could not get on with them
our personall recomendation

DONT BOTHER SAVE YA MONEY

Yep same here and I think Buddy Rc aka Wayne has gone away from them also.
P.s if you bend the stub axle which does happen sometimes then you will not get the already tight bearings off again so you end up replacing the bearing and the stub axle.

Thanks everyone, nice to know its not just me

Bugger....too late for me then, I bought some of these at the Seniors meeting

Anyone interested in a set brand new in packet lol

I bought a set of the bearing from Ardent a few weeks ago, but he didn't have any wheels in, so I haven't used them. My fronts are nice and free anyway as they are, without any slop.

Tomo is right I have gone to the normal front wheels as the ballrace is crap and if you want to swap wheels you have to buy another set of bearings or take them out of the other everytime and they don't work nearly as good as with no bearings.
Also they get stuck and you can't get them of very easy and being bearing you would think they would spin better but after a few runs on the track they don't work very well.

So there's plenty of ballraced front ends going cheep then?

well if there is put in the for sale section

Or give them to me

I'll find a good home for them

You can have mine next time I see you m8 as I will not be using them. All I ask for payment is to teach me how you drive so smooth.

read this and wept

ordered a set with the car but I've sorted mine now

video to follow if I ever get around to finishing it off in stead of being a keyboord jockey
