A FIX FOR SOME NINCO COBRAS

by
Daniel J. Dyke

This is a simple fix and is one that can be done whether it is needed or not.  If needed, it will help greatly and if not, it may help very slightly to cure the secondary problem of axle slop.

The Problem

The front wheel is catching on the chassis.  There are two little prongs that jut out on the front axle mount.  They catch on some wheels under some conditions.  In other words it is an erratic problem.  The problem was isolated by spinning the wheels by hand. Occasionally the wheel would catch and stop suddenly.

The Fix

Put a washer between the wheel and the chassis.  This also has the benefit of removing axle slop.
