I plan to build a railtruck, and have a Hartland drive:
Soooo, my question is .... how do I support this drive? The axle is plastic?!?!? Not what I was expecting.
As far as I can tell I have two options:
A) Support it with the plastic axle and lube the poop out of it.
B) Support it from the gearbox/motor somehow. Would this be hard on the gearbox?
Any ideas you might have would be appreciated. I am pretty much at an impasse on a project I really want to start ASAP!
Thanks,
Matt
