Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / October 2006super glue broken parts
Anyone tried doing this? i broke the steering bell crank with some bad landings, my first attempt at trying to jump the lst2 i thought this thing was though i end up breaking something every time i drive it! 2 pics the broken part and after its glued i cleaned up the 2 surfaces with some metho and a toothbrush then droped a bit of super glue on and stuck em together, it seems pretty strong hold but i havent taken it for a drive yet. will do this arvo http://users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3731.jpg http://users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3733.jpg will let yous know how it goes its only $10 for a replacment but have to wait a few days for the post > Anyone tried doing this? > i broke the steering bell crank with some bad landings, my first [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > its only $10 for a replacment but have to wait a few days for the post My superglue attempts have never worked, they tend to give up on the slightest force upon them. Still it's work a try. >> Anyone tried doing this? >> i broke the steering bell crank with some bad landings, my first [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > My superglue attempts have never worked, they tend to give up on the > slightest force upon them. Still it's work a try. I've used zipties more effectivly than CA glue. LOL it was on the tranny brace for an RC10GT  SignatureJustin Mahn I took it for a successful run sort of. until somethin else broke half way through a tank! damb lst2 im not sure yet havent pulled it apart either a clutch spring went or one of the clutch bearings but the superglued steering bellcrank held up well > I took it for a successful run sort of. until somethin else broke half > way through a tank! damb lst2 > > im not sure yet havent pulled it apart either a clutch spring went or > one of the clutch bearings but the superglued steering bellcrank held > up well Yep, that's why I like rock crawlers - too slow to break.

I ain't managed to break the Revo yet - it's done some monster jumps as well :-) SignatureDan - on his PC >> I took it for a successful run sort of. until somethin else broke half >> way through a tank! damb lst2 [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Yep, that's why I like rock crawlers - too slow to break. Bah, your just not doing it right :) If your not ripping rocks out of the ground, back flipping due to too much power/too steep or not getting any air off the top of the hill your climbing your just not holding your mouth right :) My rock crawler breaks plenty enough, but then I'm starting to thing I *crawl* rocks a little differently to you, LOL! Cheers Dre >>> I took it for a successful run sort of. until somethin else broke half >>> way through a tank! damb lst2 [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Cheers Dre I said that while crossing my fingers. My TXT-1 "crawler" hasn't even managed to crawl out of its box yet! I'm still in the acquisition stage with most of the electricals still being planned: 1. Novak Super Duty XR ESC - doesn't seem to be much else out there or at least the SD seems to get all the press. 2. Twin Hitec HS-5955TG servos for 4x4x4 - seems to be the popular choice of servo for serious rock crawling - 333oz (24kg) of torque! 3. MRC Super Brain 977 charger (does two batteries at once and supports Li-Po) and a few 3000mAh Venom batteries. Just waiting now to see what sort of deals I can get out of Tower Hobbies - hoping Christmas brings some specials!

I fixed my lst2 this arvo cost me $2, one of the bearings seized up, i couldnt get it off the drive shaft, after prizing it off with a screw driver it was rusted on, maybe why it seized huh. damb water! I must be holding my mouth right, i rip rocks out the ground, get air off every hill i climb altho it wont wheel stand. I played with the lsn a little now it takes off like someone put a firecracker up its a.s but still wont wheel stand. > My second truck will probably be a revo or a savage. parts are so damb > cheap and easy to get hold of compared to my lst2.

Right off, the first thing I noticed was it looks kinda like a truggy as opposed to a monster truck like a Savage/T-maxx. Ie, it handles like its on rails, but because of its "stance" its not really setup to wheelie. Like trying to wheelie an Inferno, pretty much impossible. Savage's sit real high and have a lot of weight up high, plus if you stiffen the shocks you end up with a very high rigid chassis, perfect for wheelies... Just my 2c Cheers Dre > I've seen pics of your truck allthough I dont know much about it.

I think its just that im a noob at tuning these engines and i dont havent had anyone experienced show me yet. Ive been winging it so far :) Yesterday i took it to a park that had these garden things in the middle which made good jumps, they were about 1/2m high. The lst took a bad nose dive and snapped my super gluing, i was amazed how well it stood up it took a few tumbles before snapping. I would definitly recommend super gluing if you cant wait for your parts in the mail! I have been playing with the lsn and idle a little because it was idling so high engaging the clutch sometimes and it idles all weird now. sometimes fast, sometimes slow its all over the place. The engine hasnt drunk much fuel its had almost 3 litres through it. Any tips on setting the idle would be good. >> I've seen pics of your truck allthough I dont know much about it.

Ive been winging it so far :) Fair enough, I've never even seen one of these things run, so I was just going by what I saw, still, IMO it would be a hard truck to wheelie due to its setup...

It take a little longer to cure than Super Glue but it will usually bond it more permanently. There is also some other stuff that is a lot more expensive that we keep in the 4x4 just in case crack a radiator when we're 1000 k's from no where and this stuff is a lot more of a permanent bond. Plasti-Bond is one of them and usually sets hard in about 15 minutes and the other for metal is Need It. Both need a blow torch to remove them to be repaired properly, but they always get us out of trouble. Cheers |
