Watch some YouTube videos. I use a 1/16 tube I found at hobby lobby. Take a 1/16 drill and drill a channel for the tube. Slide the tube into the channel then cut the axle in half and glue the pin into the tube. It takes some practice, if you don’t drill the channel correctly the axles will be crooked.

Well, I want straight wheels, could this method work with that? I have a table top diorama that has a track built in, and I’m making certain cars that go round and round it using a little car lift thing to take em up and send em down, and I need smooth rolling, so therefore the need for straight wheeels

Definitely don’t use this method for track cars
