What is a "Ride Height Reamer"?

The tool (reamer) used to open up the the ride height adjusters hole where the bearing goes into on 1/12 scale cars. Lets the bearings adjust some when putting the axel thru them and not bind.

That is at least what I call them.

Trinity made them but I can not find them anymore for sale. I saw one on e-bay a week ago or so but forgot the auction and did not get a chance to bid.

Mcmaster.com. They have more reamers than you can shake a stick at.

There are other ways to free up the bearings in the spacers. A quick solution is to drill some small holes in the solid plastic of the ride height spacers. This will let the plastic give a little when inserting bearings.

Get a set of IRS ride height adjusters, they fit into most motor plates perfect and don't bind the bearing. If your still having problems with the rear axle binding you may want to look elsewhere for a problem.

install your ride adjusters and use a 3/8 drill bit to remove the bearing cover, this is what your doing and align the adjusters, just make sure you don not spin the drill bit without the bit being inside both adjusters at the same time or the will not be align, hope this helps

Try a 3/8" tapered reamer it works great

The correct reamer is a 3/8" straight reamer. You can use a chucking reamer, it is what I use. I think you are looking for a long reamer that will cut both sides in one shot but a regular chucking reamer is cheaper and works just fine.
