Fallen's 2nd UDR

[Gula]

Huh, even with the sticky icky runny E6K that seems to glue and hold anything together, amazing.

Have you tried the heavy duty version, called shoe goo? I've glued servos onto axles, as I broke an alloy mount (deployed to Afghanistan in 2011, and brought a wheely king rig)

As others sez, try packing everything that doesn't rotate full of grease, especially where two parts join.

What other brand alloy housing than vitavon, gtb? gpm and the cheap chinesium ones made from questionable material are there?

axle flex is why i only buy metal axles
ive stripped to many gear sets with plastic axles

metal axle housings cost less than gear sets so it made sense

the dirt never caused a problem in my opinion but the only clamshell axles ive ever runwere on my scx10 and it dident go fast enuff to really cause a problem

My 1st UDR used the GPM axle housing. It turned out to be durable enough, and everything inside of it spun smoothly.

For my 3rd UDR I'm trying this one:

It's nice that it's cheaper than the Vitavon housing, but the problem with Vitavon is getting ahold of one. Apparently they aren't shipping. The Amazon one was in stock in the US, ready to ship.
