Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What RC airplane models are these wheel axles compatible with?
A: These steel wheel axles with M5 thread are designed to fit standard RC airplane landing gear assemblies with wheel apertures of 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm in diameter. They are a versatile spare part suitable for most common RC airplane models that use standard landing gear configurations. Always verify your model's landing gear specifications before ordering.
Q: What material are the wheel axles made from?
A: The wheel axles are manufactured from high-strength industrial steel. This material provides excellent resistance to deformation and fracture under the repeated impact stresses of model takeoffs and landings, greatly extending the service life of your landing gear assembly compared to lower-grade alternatives.
Q: How do the stop nuts work with the wheel axles?
A: The included stop nuts thread onto the M5-threaded steel shaft and are tightened to lock the wheel securely in position on the axle. This prevents lateral movement of the wheel during ground operations, eliminating wobble and ensuring stable, controlled taxiing and landings for your RC airplane model.
