Slotdevil 2003423553 2,38mm Superglide Axle 55mm (20 pcs)

High Performance Precision Axes for plain bearings made of new high-tec material with incredibly smooth surface. Absolutely round, absolutely straight. Visually no different from conventional axes.

Thickness : Medium
The diameter of these axles is in the middle range and most of the ball bearings fit on the axles without any problems, but still with a relatively good sliding fit. Couples that are too loose and too tight can happen. If there is an axis and two bearings, and one or both bearings do not want to go on this axis, only 1-2 thousandths of a mm have to be ground off. That works relatively easily. Clamp the axis in the drill, switch it on, hold fine sandpaper on it for a few seconds, cool the axis again (important!) And then test again. Repeat 1-2 times if necessary, then it fits perfectly. However, if several axes and several bearings are available, grinding is usually not necessary. Simply slide each existing bearing briefly onto each axis and test the fit. In this way, perfectly matching pairings can be found with almost certainty, without any grinding.

Significant time improvements only by changing the axes. 1/32 Slot.it serial vehicle without magnet is about 1/10 - 2/10 sec. faster per 15 m distance only by changing the axles. If a clubmate unexpectedly departs from you, just ask him about his axes.
