opps my bad....

please see post just before your last one....:005:

how did you design the parts you made?

overtki11 · 02.16.2007, 08:30 AM

i don't...i mill on the fly....hope that makes sense...

basically for example...i wanna hook up the engine to the tranny...i hold the engine in a position where i think will fit and see what i need to hold it in that particular location...once i do that, i mill whatever i dun need off the piece. and i'll be left with what you see....

It does to me, I can't draw and still learning emachine , so i do most designing in my head. When i get close i start looking at details.

well, i just started on my last phase of milling work on this project and once this final piece gets done, i'll start running the fuel tubing on this thing and see if she'll fire up!....:026:

you guys got my wondering about something,
do you use good alu or w/e you are making parts from or do you use crappy stuff first to try if it fits?

overtki11 · 02.22.2007, 11:05 AM

well, decided that i'm a gonna do without the reverse gear for now....seeing how i'd need to buy a micro servo and fab yet another servo mount....haha...

so i removed the opti-drive....

the hole in the tranny needed to be "blocked up" and also, needed to have something to lock the shifter rod in place...
here's what i came up with...
