Glueing on Wheels

Got a pic of how your currently trying to glue/mount the wheels?

I have been using (( believe it was Smitty's recommendation) Loctite's Stik n Seal. It doesnt weep, drys clear and stays where you put it. If you are mounting underneath a chassis i would use brass tubing to hold axles.

no, not stick n' seal for axles...use j.b.quick...the loc-tite stik n' seal will not hold the axles down...it holds the grills, engines and the body on...the cars weight stretches the stick n; seal...

I use simple super glue for plastic to plastic, and jb quick for plastic to metal & metal to metal bonding. Axle align is always a challenge for me. I never know if I got it straight until its dry and I roll test it.

drill a small [1/16"] hole under the axles, the j.b.q. will form a rivet after you push it through the hole, it holding the axle against the base...j.b.q. [1] axle at a time... j.b.q. the axle that seams best aligned first... when installing the second axle leave a small dab of j.b.quick on the mixing card...when it starts to set up flip the car upsidedown...test roll...don't forget to shim the wheels away from the base... it will not be a perfect alignment... when flipped back rightside up it doesn't always roll straight...but close...
with the axles securely anchored they can be gently bent for alignment... hold the wheel fairly tight against the base when bending... if not the bend will be away from the base, sometimes binding inside the wheel...

note the j.b.q. hole in the front and 2 j.b.q. holes in the rear...rearmost hole is for extended wheelbase..

Thanks guys that helps a lot....I tried taking pictures of my glueing job but my lousy camera just couldn't photograph close enuff to see any detail. Working on my 2 gassers I hope they workout...........Non traditional I think...

Just remembered: sometimes if the channels that the axles set in are a little too big making it harder to align them, what has worked in the past is:
-apply a dab of jb weld onto the chassis where the axle will set
-place the axle onto the chassis and gently press into the dab of jb weld
-take a very small chunk if poster sticky/silly puffy, the stuff that JDC442 uses for weight, and gently press it over the axle right on top of the jb weld
-the sticky will help hold the axle and allow for easy adjustment while the jb weld sets
-after the jb weld is set you can pull off the sticky, you may be able to see a little of the top of the axle as it has set into the jb weld, so you should be able to leave it or apply a little dab of jb weld over it to ensure it stays secure

This has helped me in the past and hopefully it will help you too.

I can't find the old post but I've used a technique that uses a 1/16 (I think) hobby pipe that is attached to the chassis and then the axles are glued into the pipe. Adds the need for a little extra clearance but it seems to help keep the axles straight if you've cut them. I'll try and find the photos but it worked pretty well, might be worth exploring.

Just take an axle to the hobby store and make sure you get the right size. The pipe I found fits axles perfectly without much slop room.

Cut the pipe to the width you need for your chassis.
Cut your axle in half
Slide on the wheels you want
Put some glue (or whatever) in the pipe and slide in each axle
Then attach the pipe to the chassis
