Very nice of you to say so! But it is a little rough around the edges,if you look close enough,as it is mainly done using files and some wet and dry sandpaper!alasdair wrote:Wow! precision engineering or what?!
I think that drilling a tiny hole in the chassis pieces,then sewing some thin wire through the holes to tie the pieces together,then epoxying the lot together might be the way foreward.I used to use that method to get the curve to hold when building model boat hulls!
Worth a try,anyway!

I got the new servos for bruce,not bad for 4.99 each!!
from here...
http://www.galaxymodels.co.uk/detail.as ... 9&rootid=2
This is what they look like...
I thought I would explain how the mod was done.I think it is pretty painless,and the result is a tiny and fast drive motor.
The mod to the servo couldnt be easier,no messing around with pots!
I removed the two final gears,which also removes the part that turns the pot,and also speeds up the output loads.
Here is the modded servo.The removed gears are in the foreground...
Then you just epoxy a lego axle onto the final gear...
This is a final modded servo...
Just a spare nut,added to the other shaft to take up the space taken by the other removed gear
The result is not very powerful,but pretty fast for such a small unit.

although there is no gear to adjust the pot i would put a bit of glue into it as it could move from vibrations and its a pain to get inside the servo at an event to re-adjust the pot.
