Billy Cart - wheel and axle
I've just made a 'rough' version of an old style Billy Cart for my sons. I got the 3/8" wheels and axle from Bunnies for about $40 (4 wheels, 2 axles). After about 4km test, they run rough with friction, scrape and are noisy.
I'm looking for some ideas/suppliers to have a different system where I can use bearings, bigger wheels and hold the wheels in place somehow without using split pins. Seems that many of you in this subforum would eat this question for breakfast!
Also, I used a bolt to pivot the steering with 2 washers in the middle and two nuts on the end (you know the idea). Any improvements to be made in this area?
