Default Re: Nylint michigan crane conversion, hopefully

I braised the broken spotwelds, but it was a little tweaked. I can work around that.

I got the slew gear mounted on truck, got my 3 servo mount drilled up and ready, tried to tighten and stripped threads instead of pulling flush, made hardwear bigger, remounted lower. got slew servo mounted, realized 3 servo mount was now in interference, pulled it all back out. Trimmed top ear off top servo and mount so it fit where i originally wanted before i redrilled. Made mount plate for slew servo 0.125 between bottom and servo.



Grabbed a 1/2" chrome hole plug like the truck has for headlights, center drilled it for an LED, mounted that in crane cab. A bruder operator looked too professional for me learning how to run this, so i found someone more my speed.



Not sure if i'm going to like the white string, or the green fishing line better. Thoughts?

I've been trying to keep from chevy-ing this too badly. But there's always the fun part here's what i've got to work with here... but that's sae, these are metric, that's phillips.

This is my first model without an esc. Do you run a bec, or an rx pack, or full stuck pack, or?
