Product Information

Full details

This guide is for hobbyists working with 1:32 scale model cars, particularly those using Scalextric and Hornby brands. The NSR Axle Spacers provide a simple yet effective solution for fine-tuning axle alignment and reducing play. A potential caveat is ensuring the correct spacer size is selected for specific modifications, as they come in multiple dimensions.

FAQs

What scale are these axle spacers for?

These NSR Axle Spacers are specifically designed for 1:32 scale model cars.

What materials are the spacers made from?

The spacers are made from durable brass.

How many spacers are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 brass axle spacers.

What are the dimensions of the spacers?

The pack includes three common sizes: 3/32", 0.236", and 6mm.

Which brands are these compatible with?

They are compatible with Scalextric and Hornby brands, and potentially other 1:32 scale models.

Can these spacers be used on any part of the axle?

Yes, they can be used to reduce play anywhere along the axle where a spacer can be fitted between components, most commonly between the wheel and chassis.

Will these spacers affect the weight of my model?

Brass is a dense material. While the impact of a few small spacers is minimal, it's something to consider for extremely lightweight builds.

Troubleshooting

Spacer is too thick/thin for the intended gap.

Try one of the other included sizes (3/32", 0.236", or 6mm) or use a combination of spacers if space allows and is necessary.

Wheel still has too much play after adding spacer.

Ensure the spacer is seated correctly and not obstructed. If significant play remains, consider using two spacers or a different combination of sizes.

Spacer does not fit onto the axle.

Verify that the spacer's inner diameter is appropriate for the axle. These are designed for standard 1:32 scale axles; custom axles may require different components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improves model car stability and handling.
  • Durable brass material ensures a long lifespan.
  • Versatile with multiple sizes included in the pack.
  • Helps fine-tune axle alignment for better performance.
  • Cost-effective solution for reducing play.

Cons

  • May require careful measurement to select the correct size for specific applications.
  • Not suitable for scales other than 1:32.
  • Brass can be a heavier material, potentially impacting very lightweight builds if used excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Disassemble the relevant section of your 1:32 scale model car to access the axle.
  2. Identify the amount of play in the axle.
  3. Select the appropriate NSR Axle Spacer size (3/32", 0.236", or 6mm) that best fits the space to reduce or eliminate play.
  4. Place the spacer(s) onto the axle, typically between the wheel hub and the chassis, or between components limiting axial movement.
  5. Reassemble the model car.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for 1:32 scale model cars.
  • Directly compatible with Scalextric and Hornby brands.
  • May be compatible with other 1:32 scale model brands and custom builds, requiring verification of axle dimensions.

Care:

  • These are solid brass components and require minimal care.
  • Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if dust accumulates.
  • Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion, although brass is generally resistant.
