Holes and shafts tolerance…

The ISO guidelines for holes and shafts, specifically within the ISO 286 tolerance system, are essential for ensuring standardized fits between mating components, such as shafts and holes. These guidelines establish a universal method for defining and communicating the degree of clearance or interference between these parts, which is critical… Continue reading

Why high quality ball bearings are way more expensive than the cheap ones

High quality ball bearings are manufactured based on selective assembly. Selective assembly increases the cost of ball bearings due to the added complexity, time, and precision required during the manufacturing process. Unlike standard assembly, where components are mass-produced and assembled without much individual matching, selective assembly involves carefully matching components… Continue reading

Localized stress around screw holes

Damage around screw holes seems a common issue on Tamiya cars. It could have occurred due to a combination of factors. Screw holes create points of stress concentration in the chassis. When a screw is tightened, the material around the hole experiences higher stress than other areas of the chassis…. Continue reading

AMR 9 nitro smaller scale M car like chassis

Nitro RC cars are equipped with small two-stroke engines that run on a fuel mixture of nitromethane, methanol, and synthetic oil (the engine is often equipped with a pull-start mechanism for easy starting). They typically have a multi-speed transmission system that allows the driver to control the speed and torque… Continue reading
