Tug Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just remember to move your head in slow sweeping motions, otherwise it'll be jerky and unwatchable. Also, there's no zoom on action cams, so keep the car close or it'll be a dot on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Cheers, a Truggy would be the more efficient drive, but I feel that wouldn't be half the fun, a car needs a few quirks to be a true smile-inducer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hub bearings, what's the official dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrighty8766 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 8x16x5 I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Yeah, long story, but basically two bearings in one delete burst and damaged the delete. I've managed to sort it with new bearings, but I've had to add some huge shims to the centre of the delete to repair the damage. The ridge that divides the two bearings is damaged, so the gap isn't big enough now. I'll give it a run when I can and see if I've saved it or not.
