Special Gift Razor

Postby HomeRacingWorld » Sun Jan 25, 2015 1:23 pm

Razor Jon presented me with this beautiful outfit yesterday for my birthday present.

It's funny as poor Jon has watched me use the original using only one side at a time. I am just stubborn in my old age and just take my time. I sand one side at a time until I get the profile I like and go to the other side.

So he gave in and made a custom Razor for me. :P

He shined it up good too! It has a built in axle system with bearings that allows me to do 3/32 or 1/8 size wheels.

Anyway, already tested it and it's one great addition to the old Skunkworks.

Thanks Jon, this is VERY nice and appreciate the effort.

Man I like that, I wonder what I could build (out of wood) that I could trade for one of those...... :think:

Looks really nice. I particularly like the bearings instead of the v-groove cut on the arms. You'll have fun with that one.

Pretty slick! Definitely some applications were that would be advantageous!

That's great! I made an axle like that for mine, too, and used ball bearings the same way! But mine started out as a dual, so I had an advantage. You're gonna love it more than the original, and that's says a lot!

Im glad you like it Harry, you sure have done a lot for me :text-thankyouyellow:

I do not plan to build this type of Razor, and Stock it, but I can make it special order, will be more expensive than the standard Razor

I do have a single axle set-up I am building that can go on the Standard Razor and you would just super glue it to your V notch for a more rigid true
or just hold it on with the drive belt both ways will work.

I used 1/8 collars to keep my ball bearings in place, avoiding the need to do any real machinist work.
