Re: ADT build

Re: Skeeters contracting services

Re: Skeeters contracting services
I've been thinking about the same thing! I've been prototyping with adding steel wire 4mm) inside the wheels, but your lead approach looks more doable. The handling will be much better with the added...

Hi Skeeter!
Your two printing problems are very common problems, but they can be fixed. One is actually very easy to fix :-)

Re: Bruder 574 RC conversion weekend project!

Re: Bruder 574 RC conversion weekend project!
Yes, it does take time to get to know 3D printing i general and also the characteristics of your own machine. But if you stick at it, you'll get it.

Re: Bruder 574 RC conversion weekend project!

I see that I've left out some information:
- The aluminum axle tubes are cut to 135mm length.
- The wheel hubs (4mm axle) were bough here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/322385127356
