The new vice and Dad's olds socket I saved has done the trick, with a bit of force as well.
As for the chain I got this to use

wooh, that some over kill chain there, fm2 using 06b which is used in HW drive, i mean if you already got it then ok but i would look at either t8f chain aka minimotor chain (a bigger 8mm chain 05b sporkets work) or 06b
Well, there's no overkill like overkill. I was looking at 06b as well but I went with the 08b just to be sure the chain doesn't keep break, plus I never built an axe bot before so I'm still learning a bit.
ive not had a chain break nor split in Wanna choppa, and thats had some forces on it. Although not as powerful as some axe bots, its been ok on 06b. but as you have bought it, consider the 06b if you need to save weight!
Well BOB 4 slowly getting there but might have to go in weaponless to save a bit of time and out of fear of breaking my drill press. Just need to finish the rest of the body and the insides for the battery, ESC etc.

Well, the driving issue has decide to come back. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to fix it back then at Robodojo and with the Loctite blue I used to keep the wheel from sliding off, I had to cut behind the wheel. From the looks from one of it seems a bit worse than last time.

Luckily I still got some length left on the shaft and if it happens again.
But now the next problem is this.

The screw hole doesn't go all the way in, now I have drill bits for metal but I don't have any tools to make a thread to put a screw in.
A full tool kit is essential if you wish to be a amateur engineer Sean as apposed to a assembler.
You can buy a set of Taps and Dies for around £15 and that would suit well for most re threading
tasks you will encounter.

I'll be getting one at Screw Fix on my way to work. Also, I better get some metal bars to practice on.
If you have never used Taps and Dies before make sure you lubricate the metal before you
start cutting the thread-cutting oil or gell is best.
Only cut in 1/4 turns otherwise you may break the Tap or Die-they are very brittle.
Oh !-very important-turn back 1/4 turn to break off the swarf
otherwise the cutter will jam and get too tight to turn.

Will WD 40 do the trick?
