Aluminium side sections?

[FrogPrince82]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any company or person making the front side sections that come in parts bag TD320124 (picture attached)?

I have have stripped the threading on a couple of them already, through some front end hits, and thought that maybe some aluminium ones would be more durable. (plus would be cool anodised in black )

It wouldn't be so bad if you could get them on their own, but I don't need to replace the other parts in the pack so collecting them is an unwanted pain for both space and expense

If anyone knows of some already please could you let me know, or if anyone would be willing to make some, please could they let me know

Thanks as always.

I'm guessing you mean the ones middle right and left of the image?
Just get slightly longer M3 countersink screws(15mm over all length) and put a slim nut on the back of them.

I think the servo would be in the way. I asked the guy who makes the chassis I'm working on and it would be a very expensive piece to make. I think maybe drilling the inside bigger to recess a nut would be the best alternative

Club mates and myself have done both and it works fine with the LP nut.

Preferably recessed do the hole with a big drill bit so you can get pliers in or remove and use the hex driver

Cheers everyone who replied, I'll get on with the simpler solution of a nut!

Thanks again.

Could always do what I did with mine. Drill and tap the m3 hole to m6, Drill and tap a piece of M6 studding m3. Screw it into the plastic like an oversized helicoil. It's complete overkill but it works.
