Do you glue your axles in place?

[birddog]

I'm new to mailing in cars for a race and I'm wondering if I should glue my axles in place or not?

I'm never sure how much it really helps, as I always seem to have to pull an axle after it has been glued and I don't seem to have much of a problem pulling out glued axles, so I wonder how much it even helps?

What are the pros and cons to do this?

What is the practice of the pros? Do you worry about your car getting out of alignment if you don't glue your axles in place?

thanks,

I always drill holes in the bottom of my cars to expose the axle ends. I use these holes to adjust all of the axles and before I send my cars I put a small bit of epoxy in the to hold the axle in place. probably not necessary, but better safe than sorry for me...

i dont glue any axles. with drilled axle holes your axles should be tight enough to hold in place but not so tight you cant get them out.

If they will fall out then they are too loose in the first place. Then again sometimes they do have to withstand a dropkick from the mail.
