Do I have to give you a prize?

[Super Max Power]

Here is a question I have been asking for a long time now. It appears that amongst all the technical wizards on this site that none of you can type something that might be of use. Instead you stick to the posts that will give you a big number under your stars.

I assume there are quite a few members that have done a pullback rim modification for their BCG?s, so here is my question:

HOW DO YOU COMPENSATE FOR THE REAR PULLBACK RIM HOLE BEING BIGGER THAN THE BCG?S AXLE?

I have tried using glue around the axle to make it bigger ? didn?t work.
I thought about using glue in the pullback rim then re-drilling the hole ? but how do I get it dead centre?

The best idea will the Super Max Power certificate of ?Keeping it Real?*.

Hi
Here’s what I did.
Option 1
I cut tiny stirps of rolling papers – yeah for cigarettes or doobies (which you spark is up to you)
😀

I rolled a bit at a time on the axle with some epoxy and then slid it into the pullback rims and let them set.

Option 2
fill the tyre holes with epoxy, let set and drill out at a good 90 degrees with a drill press if you have one – you can get a mini drill press for dremels and/or small drills – Dick Smith has them or you can get a cheap GMC drill press for about $70 at you local Bunnings or Big W. ifyou spend a bit more you can get the laser guided one and be a huge geek.

just fill the holes with epoxy because it’s slightly rubbery. then make your hole with your smallest flat precision screwdriver. just make sure you start in the dead center and drill carefully with the screwdriver. take your time, and if you do stuff up, just fill them with glue and start again. and don’t worry you’ll get the hang of it quickly:8ball:

hehehe, sorry SMP, there was a thread on this not too long ago. If you do a search it should come up.
What came out of it was basically what Drsquidd answered above. I have successfully used the rolling paper method using “rollies”

Rollies are the best damn ciggie papers in the world!

Smp, I believe I used a Auldey clone axle and it fit without too much adjustment to the pullback rims. I would use an epoxy to fill the rim’s holes. Depending on the dry time of the epoxy (usually fast or slow) I would let it harden to a putty like consistancy and then re-mount the rims back onto the axle. Use a spacer (I would precut a piece of wood to the correct width-measure against an intact axle) having the rims stradle the wood until the epoxy sets fully. Turn over the axle on the piece of wood during to make sure the wheels are balanced. I wouldn’t use the bit chassis for this (although it should work) because if the wood is square it will help line up the wheels and should give you a more true read.

I guess if you have a drill press, let the epoxy harden fully and drill away;). Anyone know what size drill bit to use?

Thanks everybody – you have all given me heaps of ideas.
My faith has been restored.

If you fill the hole with epoxy and then drill, u CAN`T make hole centered withouth a lathe.Rolling paper + epoxy or super-glue (yes it works) is the way to go man.
