Re: Flip-Side's build diary

Got bored so I decided to modify the drills. There were a few problems but I got there

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

Yeah the trick i've found out is that it is so much easier to get the chuck off before getting the motor setup out of the drill. Still doable but with more hassle to have the chuck on. But nowadays i could slaughter them in my sleep :P

Remember you will need to keep the reverse thread screws that went in the chuck end mate.

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

have done and 1 of the batteries just died doesn't charge or anything

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

I read stories about that, I tested all the batteries before dismantling the drills. If it gets to the stage that you need them for use in your robot once its built there will probably be someone on here who has them going spare.

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

probably the thing is it worked yesterday when i bought the drills and tested them so i'm not sure. Also one of the drills seem to be faster than the other one i'm not sure about that either

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

From the looks of your picture it looks like one of the gearboxes might not be on as tight as the other? (top one in the photo looks less tight) Not sure if that would affect it or not, but worth a try.

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

if the top one was any tighter it doesn't work properly

Re: Flip-Side's build diary

So it came like that? A bit unscrewed?

Also, is this with the grub screws in? If so it could be that isn't not working properly because the grub screws are too tight. Did you put those rings in that that guide I sent you suggests? Because if you're using grub screws you don't need to, but it would prevent you from tightening those screws if the rings are too big.
