Just curious as to what you guys generally use for axles, do you stick with the stock ones, our are there advantages to using aftermarket & which ones are they...?
Also, I just mounted a set of RRR wheels & tires on a NOS Aurora t-jet chassis, and they have a very slight wobble to them, is this common, or is this a bent axle...?
Thanks guys...

Thanks guys... They are either not mounted straight, which is common or the tire or wheel is out of round. I would say if you're not familiar with mounting them then there's a good chance there aren't mounted straight. |

chuck up the axle in a drill.. spin it, see if it is bent... it happens..
Mounting the RRR wheels.. I usually run an 1/16 drill bit in maybe a 1/16 of an in. if that.. using a pinvise, and carefully try to make it as straight as possible.. by hand.. I"m sure others have a better way of getting it straight..

Did you really mean a 1/16" drill?
