Marty at Two Lines Slot Cars got a kit and did a review video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsVmgqeoFAo

Highly unlikely to snap into the clips, but can certainly be used at the top of the axles bracket, which is designed to hold larger things steady. But, for that matter, pretty much anything will do that, including the Revoslot ball bearings.

Nah, it's all good. No worries. Just a curiosity is all.

Thanks for the info. Do you have a set of calipers to measure the outside diameter between the flanges? A full set of measurements would not go unappreciated, either. At this point, it's primarily a curiosity, since those parts are no longer homologated. ;-)

Yeah, someone pointed that out on SlotForum when they were looking for some for their Tire Razor type machine. They got some, but it turns out the space between the flanges is more narrow than typical bushings, and would not work on their machine. If you have any, please measure that space between the bushings. I'm curious what it is. And, as you said, they're not readily available anyway.

Since RevoSlot has made 3mm axles in 1/32 cars a common thing now, not to mention all the 1/24 cars that use them, AND the fact that 3mm double flanged bushings that fit into regular 3/32" bushing clips don't exist (afaik), I've done a simple printable version. These will be included in my kits from now on, as well as a 3/32" version, as many new to the hobby who get my machine don't have spare 3/32" bushings to use with their slot.it and other cars. Note that, due to the variations of machines and material, you may need to get a reamer (or drill bit) of the appropriate size, or make adjustments to your flow rate or xy compensation in order to get a slip fit with your axles. They can be printed in any material and used with lubrication. I would not recommend filled materials, such as PETG-CF, as the abrasive nature might damage the axles. Here's a link to the printables page, where they've already been uploaded: https://www.printables.com/model/459450-gs-tire-grinder-slot-car-tyre-truing-machine-rsm I'll also be providing a bunch to Alan to sell via 132slotcar.us, for those out there wanting to convert cars with snap-in bushings from 3/32" to 3mm axles.

Thanks for the browser tips. I'll look into it. The drums are 1"x1" commonly available spiral band sanding sleeves. I include 120 with my machine, as it's a good middle ground that cuts efficiently without deep grooves that lower grits can cause. It's possible to get the sleeves in 36, 80, 240, and 600 grit in various kinds of abrasives. I usually include aluminum oxide sleeves, but you can also get them in ceramic and zirconia, though not in all the same grit options.

Added a couple (helpful?) videos recently. New to slot.it? Here's how you do slot.it wheels on the G&S Tire Grinder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1H6AJsh0HY Real time build of the latest version of the G&S Tire Grinder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbSQZHNbAqA

I have created a Facebook group that anyone is welcome to join. It's for sharing tips and tricks, asking questions about, or suggesting improvements to the machine, as long as it's about the G&S Tire Grinder. https://www.facebook.com/groups/gstiregrinder

LOL shouldn't be crashes ANYWHERE.

nice looking track but... that's a silly place to put a string of esses. Marshals gonna be running in and out of that all night long, blocking view of half the track in the process. *eyeroll*

Due to severe weather, I was out of power and unable to host and stream the chat this week. But, John stepped in to host, and Jeremy recorded it, so there's still a couple hours of us chatting for you to play in the background. https://youtu.be/J3JETTccmvA
