hello i wondered if somebody has allready done that?
i'm trying to do it but if somebody tried it allready plz let me know.
the first problem was to find bearings that would fit, standard bearing size is 8x16x5.
Baja axles are 12mm and flux are 8mm so i would need 12x16x5 bearings so after some searching the only suitable bearings are needle bearings.
the only ones i could find have the folowing dimensions 12x16x10 so 5mm wider than stocks.
when everything arrives i'll see what i'll do but i guess the best thing to do will be to dremel the whole inside of the wheel carriers to fit the entire needle bearing instead of 2 seperate ones. it's aprox the same width.
Do you guys think the axle will slide to much like that or will it be okay, the dogbone will push it outwards and with the wheel hexes on it it will stay put i guess?
anyway i'll try it as soon as i get all the things i ordered to do this but if somebody has any tips or... plz post them!
