So taking apart one of my cag motors for the 1059584v2.3th time, a common theme i noticed is that the washers behind the crank bolts are always bent in because the face of the clutch and flywheel arent flush with the end of the crank, so as the bolts are tightened up the washers crush inward.
I had a similar thing happen on the weapon shaft of my robot (i am a massive nerd indeed) So i made some plugs out of 2024 aluminium. They weigh the same but they are much more solid and dont bend + look pretty awesome.
So i spent 20 minutes out on the lathe and cranked out some similar ones for the crank of the cag engine out of a bit of mystery aluminium. I reckon they look pretty awesome :) and they do serve a bit of a usefull purpose because i can torque them down quite alot more then with washers. so good-o!
