|  Rebuilding the Stick
Tore apart my stick to scrounge up parts for another rig, time to get the stick back in action. Parts: TCS Stick (Black backbone) TTR/MIP CVDs RC4WD delrin gears RC4WD axle tubes JP knuckles Mamba Max ESCs E-Flite Power 10 outrunners DX6 Airtronics 94359s TTR BTA kit The servos and servo mounts will likely change, as will a few other things. |

I like the way you used JP's knuckles with the bearings on the RC4WD knuckles, smooth steering! I tried using just the aluminum tubes but the plastic centers tore out after a little while.

Motors are nuts. I've stripped counter gears by driving full throttle then letting off...too much rotational mass combined with 100% drag brake.  Could get away with 100% Drag on the OG Revolvers...not with these. Last edited by JasonInAugusta; 06-07-2007 at 08:32 PM. |

5mm I turned the output shaft down in the lathe so I could run standard pinions. What tooth? Not sure.  |

I couldn't actually turn them down in the lathe, just chucked the shafts into the lathe. The steel is so hard (basically a drill blank) that I couldn't machine it. The trick was to use sandpaper on a file and a ton of patience to turn it down. Then I had to do the 2nd one. |

The first batch of TTR CVDs had the aluminum hex adapters. Depending on the wheels/adapters I'm using at the time, I use the O-ring or a 10-32 set screw to hold the drive pin in place. |
