Thank's for ghost car link Eagle! WOW!! is all i can say!
As for drilling axle holes in acrylic ..
use a very sharp drill bit and take your time spin the drill bit very slow so that there is no melt back from the acrylic on the drill bit.
Now or days if i had to do it all over again..
Id look into getting the clear drill jig to try it with.. but like i say i'd be very fearful of the melt back on the drill bit.
Boy if i would of only had one back then..
instead of trying it with the acrylic sheet clamped to a cut down wooden kit block with a metal dowel rod taped to it.. on the drill press with a fence.
Maybe i would have not of went threw so many drill bits or acrylic sheets before i got one halfway close to almost dead on.
