After building macnum I found that the rear hubs don't have a spacer in the middle of the bearings and found that when I tightens the wheel nut up their was a little bit of binding. To solve this I have used a pice of brass tube 6 x 0.5mm and cut a lenth of 4mm to sit between the bearings this allows you to tighten the nut up properley.

And on the front I found the same problem but it binds up compleatley but putting a pice of the brass tube in of about 7mm and grinding a tiny part of the flat grove out stops the front from binding compleatley

Can you post pictures and where you sourced the brass tubing from

I'm not sure if they will work for your buggy but I used spacers from an Duratrax Evader rear hubs on my TQ Buggy SX10. They are the correct size for the axle and the correct width no cutting just installed and there perfect fit.
