Dragline Crawler Build

First, I am wondering, and it's going to be a simple answer I'm sure....probably make me bang my head and say, of course. But, what is CA glue?

Sounds like a working model, no shelf queen here. My favorite kind!

On the long drill bit... You can buy stubby drill bits, they don't walk as easy. And like 9W said, if you spot or c-drill first, it will keep your parts more reliably consistent. And the drill will drill straighter as well.

CA - cyanoacrylate. It is crazy glue and a bunch of other names.

I just used the dremel tool and shortened the bit a bit. with the drill guide I am getting a pretty good and well located hole now. I have to be careful, if they start to wander off center the pads develope a twist as they get pinned together. It is sort of an interesting problem, since I drill one end and flip it to the other end and side. So, any off center issue is doubled and then the twist sets in.
