Another KAT on the prowl

[carp]

Hey Rob you rdoing an excellent job on this, im interested to know how strong that new slew bearing from china is? would it be suitable for a bigger machine? are the gear teeth metal or plastic?

cheers

Here are several pics of the new slewringw with and w/o the pinion and slipring.











The new ring teeth are made of metal.

Well, I think i have figured out the slip/slew ring problem that has been plaguing the KAT. The pics will explain.

I cut and shortened the rc4wd slip ring down to a workable height










I bored out the diameter of the slew ring to fit the diameter of the slip ring. This not fits atop the slip ring.
