THIS LISTING IS FOR TWELVE (12) AFX Magnatraction, Super Magnatraction, and G-Plus Rear Axles. This
axle is an exact copy of the original Aurora AFX and G-Plus rear axle.
The spline pattern and length exactly matches the original. This
axle can also be used on X-Traction, Johnny Lightning, Auto World, Dash
and can probably be used on TOMY Turbo, SRT and Super G+ as well.This
axle is a copy of the original Aurora AFX, G-Plus and Super
MagnaTraction rear axle in spline pattern and length. Whereas original
Aurora axles are made from .0625" stock, these axles were made from
.0600" stock. Although only a difference of 2.5 thousandths of an inch,
it could make a difference if trying to reuse an existing crown gear or
wheels (see notes below). These axles are made from 1018 steel and
extra insistence was placed on making sure they are straight. Please
carefully read the notes below.
Please Note: The diameter of the
splined areas on original Aurora axles can vary widely due to both
manufacturing tolerances and when they were made. The splines can be
anywhere from .0625" to as much as .0680" or possibly more. The splined
areas on these new axles are in a more consistant range, varying in
diameter from .0625" to about .0640" depending on how aggressive the
splines were cut on a particular axle. When replacing original (or
aftermarket) axles, you may not be able to reuse the existing crown gear
or wheels depending on their condition. Any issues will be due to
manufacturing tolerances and wear of the existing parts, including the
size of the axle being replaced. If the spline area on the axle being
replaced is larger than about .0635", the hole on the existing parts may
be too large to fully grip this new axle. Using all new parts will
ensure a good fit.
Please Note: The axle holes on the chassis are
about .0630" in diameter which is necessarily slightly larger than the
.0625" unsplined areas of an Aurora axle and the .0600" unsplined area
of these new axles. Since the splined areas of the axle must also pass
through the axle hole, the hole must be large enough (or elastic enough)
to allow the splines to pass. The less size difference between the
splined areas and the axle hole means less stress on the axle hole.
Because the splines were kept at .0640" and under they will pass more
easily through the axle holes in the chassis without causing the hole to
enlarge.
Please Note: The crown gear and wheels are designed to grab
onto an axle which is .0625" or greater. Since the splined areas of
these new axles is at least .0625" there should be no issue with getting
a good fit on new wheels and gears.
This axle was used on later AFX
chassis, the G-Plus and the Super MagnaTraction. I'm guessing Aurora
switched the AFX to this axle once the stock ran out on the long T-Jet
axles. This axle and the long T-Jet axle are identical except for the
splines on the ends. The long T-Jet axle has splines for the wheels all
the way to the end while this axle has a short smooth area at the
tips. The smooth area measures about .0600" in diameter which allows it
to insert easily into the wheel before being pressed on.
Please
Note: This type of axle was not used on Super MagnaTraction variations
such as the Speed Shifter, Blazin' Brakes or Cat's Eye because the rear
axle was splined in a different pattern due to the various mechanisms
found on the rear axle of those chassis. However, this axle can be used
on those chassis by replacing the original axle and components with a
standard crown gear which basically converts them into a Super
MagnaTraction.
Please Note: The Super MagnaTraction and variations
are designed to allow the rear axle to snap in rather than passing
through the chassis.
This axle can be used on all T-Jet, AFX,
G-Plus, Super MagnaTraction and X-Traction style chassis including
Aurora, Johnny Lightning, Auto World and Dash. It can also be used as
the rear axle on Tomy Turbo, SRT and Super G+ chassis.
