Thank you for the constructive feedback! :)
At the moment Im doing changes which will bolt onto existing HPI savage parts. Im at E-Savage v3.0... perhaps v4.0 will start adapting parts from other trucks.
For a moment you had me worried that there would be slop in the hex, pin, axle, bolt, wheel setup. But after rechecking Im feeling better... when the bolt is tightened firmly the wheel is sitting rock solid on the axle... no slop, no nothing. The only issue is that Thzero experienced axle breakage when running BIG wheels. The truggy adapter would help in this area... but then we would be back to a situation where the two bearings sit very close to eachother. So I'll go along with the standard axles and see how it pans out.
Jahay, I think the process time is about 2-3 hours. The plastic is quite hard but I do not know if it is strong enough to be used for anything more than prototyping... again time will tell. Otherwise we'll have to have them made in aluminium. The granulate used is a little expensive... but as it is a new machine in the toolshop, the guys have to use it to get experience in what they can and can't do. Might as well do wide hubs/knuckles instead of random test samples
