Red Pill Speed Shop #2. The Red Pill Racing Axle Jig.

[@numbskulldiecastracing]

Pure badass. Never looking back. Thank you Frank, you kick ass.

[@BigMarvsDiecastGarage]

New racer here in 2023 thank you for the info ive learned from your videos.

[@paulonopa]

This jig is a creation of pure beauty. Thank you for sharing this.

[@hilanddoug]

So as long as you make sure the rubber band is relatively evenly tight on both sides of the axle, physics makes sure it's straight. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

You're welcome.

[@xjwcurious]

Thanks for the mention. You should see the look on the salesman's face when I ask where the variable tension axle stabilizers are. Priceless!

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

Hahahaha

[@PoBoyRacing80]

Hey thanks Red Pill!!! What a simple but ingenious way of setting axles. Yes I have the other jig and have struggled using it. I'll hafta make up a couple this weekend!! I'll let ya know how they work when I do my next mod!!! Thanks Again for sharing your knowledge!! Y'all have a great weekend!!

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Thumbs up!

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Great of you to share Red Pill! I also caught it in your great test vid the other day. Like you, I have made the common used version, but have had frustrations, especially with some of the various chassis designs out there. I can see your design covers areas of concern I have had so far. So great, I will build some various RPR versions tomorrow! Cheers & Thx

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

I think you will like how it works.

[@elvinjenkinsii8109]

Thanks for this. Look forward to the next Speed Shop vid, keep em coming

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Hey RPR, I completed my first prototype and tests of your jig. I used what I had here, machine squared timber. For me, I also added marked centre lines on the timber and a series of squared off lines, such that visually I could check alignment of the chassis and the wheels. With the demo test I did, the elastic bands put light tension on the wheels, taking them out to the pin head on the axles. This is great, as again I was able to check the alignment visually, equally centred, and also with a set square. I was also able to check all wheels are level/flat by upturning and placing on a known flat surface. (And not having to worry all will fall apart.) You can even check it in the old dowel jig! So thank you. I will make a few more variations tomorrow. Thumbs up.

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

Awesome. I had built 4 or 5 different designs before this one. All of them were ok but this one is so simple and like you said it does everything that you need it to do. Thanks for letting me know how it worked for you.

@@MrREDPILLhimself Just fixed in first wheels last night, into a Dixie GP car. (Well one of the contenders to test) Checked this morn, all set, spot on! Great! Thx

Thank you. It feels good to know that people appreciate it.

[@NorthernRoadsRacing]

Simple af, I like it 👍

[@hippywildchildracing]

Is that a fish tank in the back ground with the water sound. Love the axle jig kinda similar to mine great mines think alike.

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

It is! I need to add some water to that thing for sure!

[@hippywildchildracing]

@@MrREDPILLhimself That's what I do for a living I clean fish tanks freshwater/Saltwater/Reefs systems for all my adult life 30+ years...And I breed tropical Angelfish&Discus. I sure love my fish:)

[@hippywildchildracing]

@Mike Doolzinski EightOC Racing you know Mike your right it is the best job I ever had and I have had alot of different kinds of jobs I. My life..plus I do build custom fish tanks systems aswell. I do do alot of repairs on alot of tanks in this area for many of my customers around here. It's been a fun 30 years.. alot of ppl over the years sayed to me it's always better if you enjoy your job I agree:) thank you for your kind words Sir.

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

Nice👍

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

Hahahah. Subliminal message.

[@crabsta]

@@MrREDPILLhimself IKR Thanks for the great tip though.

[@PoBoyRacing80]

Question....you say you put your grooves in front of the axles. Why? Does this angle give better tension to hold the axle in place during the curing process? Thanks

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

I just rough up the base to give the jb weld something to hold onto a little bit better

[@PoBoyRacing80]

@@MrREDPILLhimself Thanks for that...i meant the grooves on the axle tool. You say you put them forward of the axle. So the rubber band is not at a 90 deg...but is pulling forward. Is this to hold the tension on the axle better? Thanks

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

@@PoBoyRacing80 its really just my preference. I feel like it just pulls both axles to the front of the groove that they sit in and makes the alignment more precise.

[@PoBoyRacing80]

@@MrREDPILLhimself OH ok...thats what I was thinking but just wanted to make sure!!! Thanks again for all your help!! Good Luck at the upcoming truck race's

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

@@PoBoyRacing80 good luck to you too. The trucks I sent are the fastest builds Ive sent to Sub4ra. I hope the track will hold them.

[@bloodhound122]

What is the purpose of this are you gluing the axels down with correct spacing and alignment?

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

Yes
