[QUOTE="stokke, post: 25608, member: 639"] Assembling battery tray and first step of the frame.

[IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/30.09.12/P1010144.JPG[/IMG] Made a mess as usual :p [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/30.09.12/P1010145.JPG[/IMG] All edges smooth :) [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/30.09.12/P1010146.JPG[/IMG] Found something strange: The bolts to be used on the battery tray are so called flat head button screws. The point being that the head of the bolt is supposed to be flush with the mounting surface when secured firmly. The holes are drilled in such a manner that the bolt head sits "inside" the surface. BUT, it seems on my battery tray, four of the holes are drilled wrong... As you can see, the holes to the far right are correctly drilled - but the holes to the left is not. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/30.09.12/P1010147.JPG[/IMG] The diagram shows all holes drilled in the same manner. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/30.09.12/P1010148.JPG[/IMG] When trying to mount the bolts in these "defect" holes, the bolt head sticks out on top :( [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/30.09.12/P1010152.JPG[/IMG] I'll leave this part unfinished for now. I'll wait until the rest of the frame is finished, then I can see if I can go about this in another way. If I end up having to use these holes, I'll just get a big drill bit and modify the battery tray myself. I'll be disappointed if it turns out the part is made wrong from the factory... Another frame part. [IMG]http://mariusstokke.com/rc/rc-help/JRVibeNEX-build/30.09.12/P1010153.JPG[/IMG] Canopy mounts secured.
