I bought mine from Ali Express. The dedicated ones from CK Worldwide and others are really nice, with built in vacuums, but way to expensive for my hobby budget.
So, you made some heavy duty race cars :) I think they will work just fine. As you said, mabe the steering handle could be a little problem. But that will be a quick fix.
Hi, will all due respect, I would never weld any axles at the load point ,that is under constant load , if I wanted to retain them I would use a high tensile screw through the axle into the body, or tack the axles in the back
I appreciate the feedback. But, to be honest, for the loads these will see in my shop, these are massively overbuilt to begin with. The largest machine I have is maybe 2,700 pounds. And the largest machine I have my eye on for the shop is maybe 3,500 pounds. I don't see these having any issues. Although someone suggested I make some "tires" for the bearings to keep those surfaces from being damaged. I figure of I break one, I might do that.
Amazing job...thanks for sharing i need build 4 for moving cnc 5 tons.
Thanks for watching!
Those came out great. Looking forward to seeing them in action. :) Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great build, if they don’t end up pivoting, you could put a ball bearing under the shaft instead of a thrust washer
That's a good idea. Might be easier.
I need to work on mine, you don't think about them until there needed. Good one Greg..
ATB....
They came in handy this past weekend.
As Dire Straits says "Skate Away". I like that tungsten grinding attachment. Just went to E-bay and bought one.

I'm likely to cut that off before the first time I put them to use.

Nice, thanks for sharing

They cam out great, but I thought when you milled the flat on the tubing you made a mistake, it's fixable... we all make them !!!
Very true. I will likely cut that off and weld it back 90 degrees to the slot before I even use it.
tack it first and see if it's going to work
