CD's for the savage?

Something like the hex for the RC8T (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXVKH7&P=Z) is what I was thinking of. If I could find someone that could drill a pin hole (perpendicular to the existing one) so that the end of the RC8T hex nut is within .5mm of the bearing, I would be happy.

I'm actually about to do that right now. Got access to a drill press at work, just need to get some time to do it.

This is the how to video.

That is hardly a how-to video. Nowhere in that video does he say anything about how to do it.

Sorry but that is impossible to do on a drill press. Try a bridgeport.

Hadn't see that video before, but that was my plan. Had something done similiarly already for the Baja 5B hubs.

You're right. It was very difficult with a drill press. The fact the hubs have 6 sides makes it impossible to clamp them in a vise with the pin hole vertical. I gave it a shot anyway. Some of the 17mm hub pin holes got a little widened (either due to bit wobble or some other crap), but I think they should hold up. I only had one pair of hubs at the time with another set on order. I'll have to drill those hubs out a little bit for the pin to fit and only time will tell if it all holds up.'

Anyway, here's one done.
