You guys will want to have some threadlock handy -- there's no nylon locking ring on the end so the hub holds on to the axle like a metal screw into a metal motor mount. I got to try it out yesterday and it's exactly as precise as the FPR spacers of old, but now with offset adjustment built in too. I can finally run +2.5N on PN +2N wheels on the reverse-kingpin front end!

Awesome job on the Axle hub, I tried these out and just to test I cranked down on the nut and still spins freely with no binding issues. And it seems very solid. Good Job PN. The guys at the shop will be happy to see this new part, as we no longer make the FPR spacers.

ok i have been playing with these for 2 hours and no luck. i have tried every brand of wheel in every combo of shims, and still cant clamp it down all the way and have smooth rotation. anyone have any ideas. i prefer to use the atomic 19mm wheels if anyone has come up with a workable combo let me know

i tried the pn knuckles first with no luck then i tried the stock plastic and reflex knuckles same out come. i did put in some other bearings and it helped but im just not getting the same free spin i do with the stock size bearings. maybe i just feel i need the wheel to spin for 30 seconds to be free but i dont?

Chad you can try put more shim in between the ball bearing, because all he wheel size is not prefect, so we make 0.9mm Spacer + 0.2mm shim, in my car I put spacer and 4 shims, you can use M3 ball diff shaft shim.

im going to give it another shot today. i tried both orange shims in one side and even that wasnt enough. i could tell that i had enough shims because i could get the bearing all the way in the wheel. should i be getting the same free spin you get with the old setup and the wheel nut not tightened all the way? i feel the wheels are not binding but there only make a few rotations before coming to a stop.

Did you clean the ball bearing, because all new ball bearing out of factory, they put a lot grease inside make it not easy to stain, use motor cleaner to clean it will be better.
