The 1/10 new bright tj comes in different configurations as far as stickers and body colors go. Depending on which one you bought you could end up with the blue racing seats or red jeep seats or those tan jeep seats. Some say rubicon on the windshield some say newbright "thumbsup" |

Re: Tommy's Class 1 Jeep Might have to try the earth magnet idea, but I'm usually a glutton for punishment and solid mount my bodies with hopes I don't need to make a quick battery change.:ror: The cage looks really good too! |

Yeah, I've got some of those Turnigy 2200s, too. I liked them, but they were a tad big for most of my builds so I downsized.....which meant more frequent battery changes! Argh! :ror: |

Re: Tommy's Class 1 Jeep Tommy, my experience withthe rare earth magnets has been great, a few things i have found when using them are.... They hold really well when trying to pull them apart, as soon as any lateral side to side movement is applied they slide easy and loose there holding power. So, if you can pin the hood,body doors or what ever you are trying to use them with so it doesnt slide sideways you should be good to go. All the pinning has to do is keep it from shifting,let the magnet do the holding from a pulling apart stand point. Also, glueing the magnets can be a pain, They have so much holding power that sometimes the magnets will stay attached to each other and break the glue bond instead. Try to dremal a small groove into the magnets and use a dab of shoe goo.Press the magnet into it so the goo so that the goo puddles up into the groove and gives it a place to bond to prevent separation during the pulling process Hope that nmade sence. |
Re: Tommy's Class 1 Jeep Yep, Devlin, that makes perfect sense! And thanks! I made the rear hinges for the body fairly long and snug to the framerails so I'm hoping they'll help provide some lateral support (the magnets will only be used up front). But if not, I'll definitely use your idea of grinding a slot into the magnets and using Shoe Goo. http://tommyr.smugmug.com/Hobby-Stuf...9_121216-S.jpg |
Re: Tommy's Class 1 Jeep Well, I'll be darned. Tonight I cleaned up the weld/braze joints on the cage, touched up a few places with some more solder, gave it a little lovin' from a flapper wheel, and after some paint it looks dang near presentable. Go figger! :ror: It's far from perfect and not quite as nice as I'd hoped, but I'm nonetheless pleased with it. The pics don't show up too well, but these will have to do 'til I can get some outside pics (after the rain stops). http://tommyr.smugmug.com/Hobby-Stuf...9_224204-L.jpg http://tommyr.smugmug.com/Hobby-Stuf...9_224233-L.jpg http://tommyr.smugmug.com/Hobby-Stuf...9_224114-L.jpg |
Re: Tommy's Class 1 Jeep cage looks good man. did a good job on all those joints as well"thumbsup" |
