Hey guy's I have a resin body for a 4 gear chassis and the front mount cracked while try to drill screw in. I sanded it down and tried again same result. Does anyone have any advice on how to try and put another mount in?

If you have some resin, mix up about 3 drops of each part A & B, take a toothpick and wet the crack with the mix. Let it setup and it should bond the crack back together. Also wet the outside of the post to make it a little thicker, give it some strength. Try a small bit first, then go to a larger bit for drilling your holes...RM

Chevyboy here is a link for future reference on installing body mounts on a 4 gear chassis nitroslots.com/thread/2197/aw-4-gear-tips-tricks. Also has a lot of other useful information. As for your immediate repair, I have used epoxy and just filled the existing hole up on the post. I remove the air by using a toothpick to push epoxy down into the hole. Then just redrill the hole. Use something other than 5 minute epoxy....it is just too rubbery. The longer the setup time, the harder the epoxy. You could also replace the post altogether using epoxy as well. Styrene rod can be purchased at most hobby shops. |
