Paulnb57 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I have a project in mind (reverse trike) that needs a non driven wheel hub, that will take an SCX10 style wheel, think motorcycle wheel, hub bearing each side, axle through, except instead of spokes a flange to take the RC wheel Does such a thing exist please? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 just use any rear upright complete with bearings and axle/12mm wheel hex. If you are planning on a proper swing axle and shock setup, then you need to do some more fabrication. I have used offcuts of Acetal / Delrin which you cna get off E-Bay for not a lot of money. It's fairly simple to duplicate the setup of real world 3 wheelers with that layout like the BMW Isetta or Messerchmidt KRs. If you don;t need suspension on the rear end, it's dead simple. Just attach the rear suspension upright directly to the chassis, and install the axle. Take something like a TT02 Tamiya rear upright, and mount it horizontally...not in its usual orientation, and you have 2 bolt mounts to fix it to the chassis. Pop in bearings and an axle with 12mm hex...job done. If you are mounting it to a swing axle....bolt it to that. As I mentioned, flat 5-7mm Delrin will work really well and can be cut with basic hand-tools, and drilled for pivots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
