I'm going to try and make myself a few add-on knuckle weights for my Dlux brass knuckles.
I need to make them the fit the ID of Ytown wheels.. I'm shooting for 2.1" looks like I need to buy a few new hacksaw blades to attempt to cut them out.
I've never cut brass before so I hope a hacksaw blades will do the job.
The brass drilled easy enough.

If you have a jigsaw, pick up a fine tooth metal blade. It will save you a lot of time and aggravation. You can cut them close then file them up nicely.

There you go!! Make her buy you the blade too! The jigsaw with that metal blade definitely makes easy work of cutting brass.

I've had a sloppy Hitec 7950th servo for at least a yr I thought it was because of worn out bushings.
I decided to open it and found that the center plastic case (sits on top of alum heatsink and under the gears) was broken where the lower main output gear bearing sits.
I thought all yr it was sloppy bushings. Should be an easy fix $10.00 shipped from tower hobbies for new servo case.

Just thought I'd share because when I searched 7950th servo slop.. I wasn't finding much about the subject.

Yup got the same on mine after much use. Does yours wiggle a little when sitting still like its trying to find center? I know the hum at neutral is from it being digital but Im assuming its a sign of life coming to its end lol.

I had no other issues with my servo other left to right slop. My servo is 4-5 yrs old too.
My rig has been close to a 5 pounder for most of that time also.

Finished up my homemade knuckle weights. I drilled them and had a friend of mine rough cut them out. After cleaning them up a bit each weight is 2oz.
