    I don't think I know how to achieve it.

    To do it you can just get another piece of hardox cut and bolt it on over the existing stuff. It would give that area much more strength, however would a raised profile not just give something for spinners to bite on?

    Depends on how big the raised profile is and how thick the raise is. I don't think it'll provide that big a biting point for spinners to hit and if it does hit, without the raise, it could mean the difference between the link staying in and being ripped out.

    The link looks fine where it is. A couple of options to try and prevent it popping out include putting a small hinged cover over the hole that you can swivel down once the link is in place, or even just covering the hole with a piece of duct tape. If you make the loop of wire on the link end out of stiffer wire or a long loop, you can also use that to push against the chassis somewhere inside so that it can't physically pop out.

    In all honesty, links popping out in smaller weightclass bots are few and far between. It seemed bad in RW Series 1/8 but people weren't as familiar with the shock forces going through heavyeweights then as it had been a decade since HW spinners last competed, so link mounting methods weren't perhaps as robust or well thought out as they could have been.

    Ok thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll look at adding a cover to the hole it looks to be the most straight forward.

    Could someone who has used DXF files before for getting parts cut tell me how I'm messing up the orientation of the parts.

    I'm told this orientation is the top profile and need the front.


    But when I orientate it to what I think is the front the profile is still wrong.



    So what the hell am I doing wrong?

    is there a way to specify plane when creating the dxf? our Maya specialist at work is away today so cant ask him.

    although looking, export dxf from maya is not possible in 2017 but 2018 is. unless uyou have a plugin. perhaps there is a setting within the plugin to orientate output plane?

    I don't think so, plus I'm using 2015

    So it appears that I can't export the DXF with a specific plane selected. RIP me
