Drilling bodies

[CyberVet65]

What is the easiest way to mount a new body on the MT?


This is one of the prepainted bodies. I don't want to mess up a spendy body.

Put some thick grease on the body mounts. Set the body on gently. This will mark the holes to cut.

To cut my holes, I usually drill a small hole and use a stepped bit or a rc prop reamer to bore it to desired size. You can slowly use a hobby knife to 'drill' a small hole for the pilot too.

If you use just regular drill bits, go slow and use 2-3 bits, increasing in size each time.

I use peanut butter and a reamer.

I use a drip of loctite. It's always handy.

If I use peanut butter I can get the dogs to clean it up!
