Hi,

I am building an Abrams bridge tank. I feel I am nearly there. The problem is when I extend the bridge to a certain opening the technic axle starts to buckle see picture and hence it cant extend further. The instruction of the section in question is also attached. I am only able to do this operation once but cant do it repeatedly. May I ask if there is a way to strengthen the axle so that it doesnt buckle and hence will extend smoothly. Thanks Jim
