[QUOTE="stokke, post: 25355, member: 639"] Got to do some assembly tonight :D I have been adding some new additions to my chemical supplies. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010097.JPG[/IMG] Left to right: Loctite 641 (Retaining adhesive for cylindrical fitted parts) Red thread lock (Strong) Blue thread lock (Medium) Epoxy Degreaser Kicker CA Silicone grease Sewing machine oil As for my three retaining adhesives, I had to perform a test on a bolt I had lying around. Each of the three nuts will be adhered with each of the three adhesives. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010098.JPG[/IMG] I will be following the instructions "by the book" as it were. Starting with Step 1. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010099.JPG[/IMG] Step 1 is the rear tail block and the main pinion gear assembly. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010100.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010101.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010102.JPG[/IMG] These two self tapping screws were not to be found in the "step 1-1" bag. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010104.JPG[/IMG] But I found them in the bigger bag call "step 1". Of course... [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010108.JPG[/IMG] Manual calls for red TL on the two bearings. I opted to use the Loctite 641 instead. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010106.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010107.JPG[/IMG] This is some good quality instructions. All is in perfect English. On each step, the screws/bolts which will be needed are listed in the top corner. The bolts also has 1:1 diagrams of the bolts, so the builder can simply place the screw/bolt onto the page. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010110.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010109.JPG[/IMG] Another nice example of quality is the holes for self tapping screws. The hole is exactly as long as the bolt which is to be inserted. This reduces the possibility of stripping threads - as you can check the end of the screw is starting to show on the other side. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010111.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010113.JPG[/IMG] The manual calls for green TL on the part of the pinion which is to be inside the bearing. I used the Loctite 641. The manual calls for "Red" TL on the pinion nut. JR regards RED TL as a soft TL, which is not correct on unless you're using JR's own TL. Therefore I applied Blue TL on the pinion nut. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010114.JPG[/IMG] Loctite 641. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010115.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010116.JPG[/IMG] [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010117.JPG[/IMG] Nut secured. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/26.09.12/P1010118.JPG[/IMG] Well that's it for tonight.
