| (...) Like a 2x2x2 brown wooden barrel? Nope. Just a hair too big. The problem is the bottom of the tube is notched in (which provides a rail for the sled to ride on). The inner diameter of the tube is just over 2 studs, but because of the notch is (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jan-01, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

| Yeah i noticed there is a lot of binding in the drivetrain. It seems to be caused by the Perpendicular Axle joiner that is placed in between the bottom suspension arm on the same axle as the bottom of the shocks.. The shocks are also a bit too long. (...)
