Re: scruffy

i read on the forum that its a go idea to case up sabertooth controllers

Re: scruffy

I plan on taking a hot glue gun to mine. Been advised by Dave (540) that the components have been known to 'shake' free......

Great controllers though, just have to look after them.

Re: scruffy

hope fully if mine breaks i might be able to get my work to fix it as they have most of the basic components ..... and i'm intending to take the 2 i'm making at the mo into work so people can have a look and a play

Re: scruffy

Hey Pj, if you want a protective box for your electrics, I bought a good sized metal one for my lipos but its just a mite too small, you are welcome to it if you want it .

Re: scruffy

Hey Dave, that would be awesome thanks! Give them a bit of protection in the wood. Plus I need metal under my Li-Po (it's only small) tis the rules apparently.....

Re: scruffy

lol its only 5mm mild steel but if i have any weight left im gonna add some polycarbonate or some other sacrificial plastic to the sides

Re: scruffy

the gyro i am getting has the gain control on it instead of using another channel

Re: scruffy

You say only 5mm? That will stop nearly every spinner going

Re: scruffy

lol hope so ...... my next job is to get the lifter and top plate done and put some angle round the sides so it doesn't get stuck on its side
