alrighty, I've thrown the axles on it, have the tires/wheels combo and now I've come to a little issue.


Aren't the wheels supposed to cover the pins so that they don't come out from driving?
 
There are set screws in the ends of the axles to hold the pins in, and its also a good idea to grind flat spots in the pins to help stop them from coming out....♥
 
ya, the set screws are in there. its a 1.5mm i think. i don't loc-tite the setscrew couse it strips easy, but i loc-tite the pin inside the hub. also grinding down a flat spot will insure they wont slip out
 
I always thought it was weird... there were never screws in there when I bought the buggy... the pins fell out when I popped this thing outta the box!


Alrighty... gonna take note! Thanks for the input, I knew something was off.
