Re: Tips for KitBot
Reinforce the axle holes by bolting on another piece of metal so that you will have 4 pieces of metal the axles go through not only 2
2 although it seems strong enough wont be...last year we didn't reinforce and after the season we had to create a new mounting bracket for the axles because the kit-bot holes were at about 150% normal size |

Re: Tips for KitBot
The gearboxes can be very good, but be sure to assemble them with plenty of LockTite. If you don't, they will comeaprt, and they will jam. We had this happen a couple of times, and total, from three gearbox jams, we found five pieces of loose hardware inside. For some reason, the stuff in there is attracted to the gears.
Also run the gearboxes in for about ten minutes straight. They'll run a lot better for it. |
