this drill good?

That ain't cheaper, nor easier.

For cheapness , you can try to use the trigger in combination with a servo. Some of the old school feathers used that setup with a little bit of succes. But it ain't easy to get the reverse right.

Other option, the BotBitz TZ85's. Best bang for the bucks on the voltages you want to use. But I fear that's less cheap than you would wish for.

cant we hack a brushless esc (6s) to a brushed one with reverse?

[maddox10]

The Botbitz TZ85 is such an hacked one.
In origin it's a Tz85a from Hobbyking. if you can hack it yourself it's a tad cheaper than buying BotBitz.
On the other hand, I buy BotBitz when we need new TZ85's or simular.

maybe i will go with the trigger hack thing, later will get this boybitz ESC

Hey Plargen, I received one of the 3 drills i ordered. I opened up the body and took off the motor, not the problem is there is a sliding mechanism which switches the 2 modes on the drill, how do i lock it?? Also how do i lock the rotating motor to gearbox mechanism? it keeps opening on itself if i rotate is little bit.
Also, some gears came out , you know how i put them in place back?

[plargen]

depends on the position and design of the sliding mech i have some with a bit that sticks out the top of the gearbox which i have held in position with insulating tape or if its pushed in you could use a bit of hdpe with a motor sized hole molted from the motor side to the mount

also i found insulation tape good at holding the motor in place




the gears should pop back into place relatively easily

Here is a picture of mine, please tell me what to do, looks a bit different from yours, is your the old model with 3/8" clutch?

It looks like yours has multiple speeds (the lever on the body) though a little tricky to tell from the photo

You need to get the chuck off the drill. Most likely there is a left hand threaded bolt that is holding it on. Undo the bolt then take the chuck off (a normal right hand thread)
You will need to lock the clutch in the drill once the chuck the the collar are off. You will most likely find lots of ball bearings drop out once you take the white collar off. In place of those screw bolts (better grub screws in) until they lock against the clutch.

There are pictures and guides such as http://www.instructables.com/id/Hack...oxMotors-for-/

Yes, my drill has 2 modes, in one mode, high torque on other lower torque.
