| RC18T is rokkin' Sat 01.07.06 6:40pm PST #16757 |
After doing some coding for a R/C car gearing app earlier, I got a chance to run (and break) my 18T. The semi-ghetto way they have the steering linkage is pretty fragile. Well, maybe not so fragile, but doesn't really stand up well to 30' long cartwheels at 40 mph. So after breaking it for the second time (gorilla glue didn't work) I put it back together with super glue. So far so good. If this doesn't work, the only other option I've got is to have a part custom machined. The plastic the servo horn is made out of is some pretty chemically impervious stuff. The part has been glued 3 times now and there's no glue buildup because it simply nothing sticks. I've even tried acrylic welding glue with no success. I've also dremeled the chassis so the LiPo battery fits in the stock location. That allowed me to move the RX to the top and the result is a better CG and no more need for a mini RX. Sleebus |
