Different MIP 1/4" axles 4-variations ?

[terex]

Would love to get some insight on these... they are all 1/4" MIP axles and if you notice left to right
of the image, there is slight differences of each. Pin holes are offset from the heads, etc.

Were they all for the RC10 or variances ?

I don't know about CVD axles but I've got 3 or 4 variations on the standard 1/4" axles.

Those axles look to me like the person drilling the axle pin hole wasn't required to put it at any specific clocking with relation to the pivot joint. I don't see any problem with that..

That all falls under form fit and function. Variation is normal depending on when or who made something. Sometimes tweaks to improve yield or save material or speed production. There is no clocking requirements for those wheel pins in relation to the cvd end.

Yes, but notice the axle top right of photo has a smooth head with no cut outs?

[jwscab]

hahha, yeah, that top one is not machined correctly. It got missed in production to add the slot. you can't build a CVD with that axle.

Yeah it would me more of a “NVD”… no velocity drive

Rare prototype ? ?
