Thread: Team Death - New Heavyweight

Another Sunday, another day of progress!

We mostly spent the afternoon getting the sprockets onto the wheels, which was a little fiddly but we managed to get them on good enough the chain won't mangle up between motor and wheel, took us a while to level off the sprocket, again using anything we could see in sight to aid us.
We also needed to cut out a little of the middle support to give more room to the bearings and chain assembly, which unfortunately, once again, meant we needed to seperate it from its welding tacks, we've clearly done this enough, as we got it off a lot quicker than previous times!
We also spent a while drilling holes into the wheels, so we could use a nut and bolt system to help secure the wheel to the drive pole and ensure a smooth spin with no skipping. Minor hiccup whilst I was holding it in place for Colin to weld the nut to the wheel occured when my finger was a little too close and but a little singed, but thankfully the glove took the brunt of the heat!

4, An odd find by Colin, a flicking device - pull back and flick whatever it is a long way! - We've no idea what exactly it was flicking originally, but it has a bit of useful metal on it, not to mention one heck of a spring!
