Lunchbox help

[Wetman]

Hi all. Got my Lunchbox built but the front wheels seem sloppy on the axles. The nylok nut goes all the way to the end of the thread on the axle but there still seems to be play on it. Re read the dewtruction book and I havent missed a washer or anything off so just wondering if there was a quick fix for it, ie a washer between the inboard bearing and the axle or something

Is it end float or is it up and down sloppy the bearings some times have a bit of slop in the wheel itself also a bit of end float is fine as you don't want the nut on the axel hard against the bearing. I have assembled at leased 7 of the trucks and left them as stock and never had a problem. How much slop is there.

How much movement are we talking here? About 1.5mm or so isn't unusual, and makes no real difference to the handling so I'd ignore it, on a CW-01 at any rate. (If it were my F103 though, I'd be reaching for the shims...)

end float. not much to be fair, when ive looked a bit closer it seems to be about 1/2 mm or so each wheel. I know they are more meant to be fun bashers rather than precision trucks so might just leave t for now and see how it goes. Didnt they used to be flange nuts on the wheels or am i remembering it wrong

The flanged nuts are on some kits and not on others I don't know why whether it is because the wheel centres are bigger on the kits with flanged nuts and smaller on the normal nuts. that's just a theory I have come up with.
