Pinion wire?

I guess I'll try the silver brazing.

Peening the shaft sounds "neolithic"

LOL, just for once I know something you don't Laughing Pinion wire is a length of rod (maybe 150 to 300mm) with spur teeth cut all the way along it. You just cut off the length you need for one pinion and drill it out in the lathe.

I have only needed imperial pinion wire in the past and managed to find it locally. What does the "Z9" in the gear description mean - number of teeth?

A Z in a gears notifications stands for amount of teeth. But if you use T most people will understand.

Next bit, sourcing the 9 teeth pinions of small batterydrills.

We mated up TPpower 3620 10Y motors with the Ranglebox Neptunes, and there is the rub. The el cheapo batterydrillmotors have that small Z9 pinion. A Z15 I can weld, but this small bugger, forget it.

Dortmund modelbuilders fair 2019.

Dortmund 2019.

Perun did well actualy, only 1 failure in the weekend. A motorcan unscrewing itself from the front plate.
The fact the machine isn't very aggressive and the driver, Babeth, is learning to cope with the new drives in combat situations, made the ranking not as high as some would like.

Upgrades? Replacing the scoop and some wheel protection seem right.

Nebelwerfer4 shows maturation. The 2 failures. A broken belt and a lose weaponmotor wire can be traced to me, not the inherent machine, what came trough with only some scrapes, dents or otherwise cosmetic issues.
With a load of spare armor parts in our toolbox, non have been used, and won't be needed.

Upgrades? With 500 grams+ in reserve, we can do a lot. But the main thing will be cleaning up the wiring and simplifiying maintenance. I doubt weaponpower needs an increase.


Kashei is dead. The weapon keeps destroying itself. We're designing a new version, but first we'll experiment with slip clutches.

After Dortmund Life had other plans for Team RCC.

But with Hannover comming up, we got together and started on Nebelwerfer earlier this evening.

Armor looks chewed, but isn't weakened. So, we're still running the original parts. We'll replace the stickers tough. And maybe add some extra .

The disk. Bushings are cracked and running on Ti is wearing them out faster than expected. So, we installed the spare disk, and the old one is getting new bushings later this weekend, becoming the spare. Try that with bearings, 4 events , and still working.

Frame. 6mm Ti. Nothing to see, repair or replace.

Electronics. Replaced some gaffatape labels and connector taping. Tested the whole, and we declare Nebelwerfer 4 ready.

Perun will go on the table tomorrow.

Hannover came and went.

Nebelwerfer did great, but not great enough. We lost our title.
On the other hand, second place for this monster in the raptor class... Only damage was 2 belts. Each of them failed in the deceleration fase after the fights.

Babeth did well as driver of Perun, and ended up in third place.
Damage. Not even wheels (with 8 pairs of spares…) only the motors that unscrewed themselfs from the front plates.

All in all, a good event with a dark cloud. Gives me all the reasons to improve Nebelwerfer, and give the benign and gentle Perun a successor
