**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

Thanks Mark.

What about these? CLICK check the ones in post 185 as well.

I'm cutting some off the remaining input gear (2nd), should help, right?

The number in a bearing you need to be smaller is the width (thickness), not the diameter numbers...bearings are sized like this: IDxODxW, and the ones you listed just have their ID (inside diameter) and OD (outside diameter) listed.

So, whatever the width of the problem bearing, just get one 1mm smaller...if the stock bearing is 5x11x5, get a 5x11x4. The hole in the transmission case where the bearing goes needs to be deeper, not larger in diameter.

^^Yep.

Any mod to the tranny case needs to be done with abit more precision than a dremel can manage...

You need a CNC mill to really get it done right... go to your local machinist...

you wouldn't really use a cnc to do clean up work like this. a mill, yes. CNC is computer numerically controlled- you wouldn't write a program for a CNC for one cut on a mill. There are CNC plasma cutters, water jets, mills and other things, CNC is just how they're controlled.

I imagine with my good carbide bit on my dremel I could add 1mm to a bearing hole. It would be easy to screw it up, but I'd try it.

As long as you use an end-mill bit, because a drill bit won't work...and you better have a hand that is as steady as a robot, because you are making the hole deeper, not larger, and if you aren't robot steady you will mess up the diameter of the hole.

it'd be no different or harder than drilling any peice in a drill press. set the peice, set the depth stop, pull the lever. no computers or "robots" necessary.

Or you could just use the plastic half case...

Yeah that is what got a chunk knocked out of the MMM! Remember!? I think it finally did in the old fan aswell. I must have this new mounting configuration for the airflow and for the uniqueness and weight distrubution. Remember the MMM is now under the motor. The motor endbell didn't like the hit either but it took it for sure. The whole plastic case was FLEXING when landing jumps

As per my emails with FLM after they told me that it will work after me warning them that very few actually do in the real world, I'm sure they'd be obliged to fix it for me.

[Chadworkz]

Yea, it can be done with a drill-press, but not with a Dremel. However, I would just use a 1mm thinner bearing, heh.

[Kcaz25]

HeY check this out I'm grinding the gear itself down and it seems to be working!

But on another note, I hate my dremel its nicd!!!!! Like 4 volts!! feels cheap, plasticy, like a toy! It last for like 3 mins! Takes like 3 hours to charge! AHHH! Does anybody have the lithium ion one? I lust after that thing!!! It will be mine soon! HAHAHA... LOL

RCM members are the greatest by the way.

Don't get the li-ion dremel. It is terrible. Just get a plugin one.

Howdie friend! I like the profile picture! What do you mean? Anything is better than 4v nicd!!! Have you owned it? I really like being portable.

I vote for a plug-in dremel. My wife bought me one back in 2002 and it's still working like new.
