My tool kit arrived today, it’s epic.
Perfect timing as I blew my motor on Thursday (poor little thing has been working hard) and the replacement motor came today.
Technically not that hard to replace but chuffing fiddly. Also had to re-learn to solder wires. Tiny wires. New motor leads weren’t long enough so had to borrow the cables from the dead motor.
Also finished the mods for now, loads of brass, new wheels and tyres, bigger ones, so more cutting of bodywork. Little thing is a beast now.
Tool kit box, £13 odd delivered from Ali Express. No point putting a link in, price changes daily so might be cheaper on BangGood or somewhere else.
Truck ready for the new motor. Servo upgrade in place, hence the big bundle of wires held together with a closure nabbed from a packet of fancy rolls.
Keith, the brass differential covers work for me.
Ed, when I looked the specific Jakemy set wasn’t available on Amazon, some very mixed up descriptions as well, just like Ali Express. Probably the same sellers.
My truck would probably be a very good basis for an autonomous vehicle, it climbs up and over things it really shouldn’t and there are still a few tweaks I’d like to do but the parts are all out of stock.
All the brass weights in place, all hubs, both differential covers, steering knuckles and boulder rails.
Reassembled with battery in the tray but not plugged in.
Heavily cut out body to make space for the taller, wider, softer tyres and new wheels.
