    Nice you found time to try that stuff out. Also nice to fix your camber shafts in place once they have the desired offset. Wrap this stuff around it, and the camber rod is also more solid. (Plus the new sleeve will have the propper thread once cured)

    100g of it is about £5 so relatively cheap. looks good. new subscriber...

      @JohnRobinsonRC  Год назад

      Yes I just checked and 100g for 3 quid with some sellers. It's always worth having in the rc tool box. Thanks so much for subscribing. Wishing you a fantastic day. 😊👍🏼

      25aud for a kilo which converts to 13gbp, but i saw plenty of sellers trying to get more

    • @JohnRobinsonRC
      @JohnRobinsonRC  Год назад +2

      Yeah pricing goes up and down. 1 kg is a lot though. 100g has lasted me for a year. 😊👌

      ​@@JohnRobinsonRC yeah i'm probably never going to need to buy more, but it means I can give some to my mates since its so useful

    Great find 😊 how long does It take to cure. Man I miss the 144001 days
    Can we try the wheel hubs they break more often 🤔
    how we're the fumes😂 when applying

    • @JohnRobinsonRC
      @JohnRobinsonRC  Год назад +1

      About 5 mins max. Cools really quickly.
      And yeah sure I can try. Only issue is that there is not a lot of space around the actual wheel so would depend on where it broke. But I'll see. Have a great day and thanks for watching.

    • @JohnRobinsonRC

      Oh zero fumes. No smell at all.

      Also, put it in cold water and it cures faster

    Very interesting John... Just a thought... Rather than repairing a break could you make a mould and make a brand new part from it? Isn't funny that when you try to break something it won't break but when you don't want to break it, it breaks. 🤣

    • @Lekkah666

      Theoretically you could make a mold, this plastic cools down fast, so you couldn't easily pour it

    Where do you buy this stuff John?

  • @shadyhazza
    @shadyhazza Год назад

    hot glue with a lower melting point

    • @JohnRobinsonRC
      @JohnRobinsonRC  Год назад +1

      My experience is such that it wouldn't be able to hold anywhere near as well as this. Either or if both work then great! 😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

      @@JohnRobinsonRC good to know, haven't got myself a hotglue gun yet, but i've used this on a front arm where the hinge pin goes thru and it works okay, its so nice when the replacement part turns up tho :)

    • @Lekkah666
      @Lekkah666 Год назад

      It's as strong as nylon when cured... Hot glue doesn't compare😅

      ​@@Lekkah666 except nylon doesn't turn to goo at 60C. I wouldn't use it to support a motor for example. But you could put your theory to the test and cast a spur gear from it :)
