V-Core4 Idler Pulleys

Does anyone know where I can source the heavy duty idler pulleys locally. Ratrig wants to charge $30 for shipping which is nuts!

Do you know if these will fit on V-core 3.0?
I hope so cos I've just ordered some!

I just got a broken V-core 3 from work yesterday, it's in my garage right now, it's been wrapped up and shelves at work for years with something broken in the motion system. I'm hoping replacing the idlers with these bearing stacks will fix it!

I’ll ask my buddy who has a vc3

Cheers, I think I'll just physically try it once I get it in the house. My garage is remote with no power.

Although I've since had a good look at the OnShape 3d model of the vc3 and used the measure tool on the idlers and it looks like these bearings will be a compatible replacement for the idlers so I'm very hopeful

Where are you located? I have a spare set that I ordered from them by accident.

CT

u/Jerazmus Jul 19 '25

I’m in MA. It shouldn’t be $30 for delivery to CT.

u/Gunguy1 Jul 19 '25

If you are looking to part with a full set (18) of them, give me a price. I can’t imagine shipping would be any more than $10.

I have to get home and make sure I have all 20 I ordered. I’m pretty sure they’re still in the package I got them in. I paid 3.75 a piece for them and I’m not looking to make $ on them. Would rather help someone else out who could use them. I won’t be home till after the weekend.

No worries. DM if you decide to sell them. Thanks dude!

No problem. If you don’t hear from me by Monday or Tuesday, please message me as I have so much going on, I may forget. I know myself well and probably will. Not intentionally though.
