Tamiya connector socket
1 Attachment(s)
Boy it has been awhile since I contributed any nugget to you guys with respect a cost effective way to do something.
So here is one Being that I have multiple tanks that do not have a Tamiya battle system, I devised away to make a socket that would allow a Tamiya TBU to plug into my DBC's. Good old lego to the rescue again. Gather up these components http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/u...99/Nl29565.jpg Drill out the center of a 2 post lego block and file away the material to make a nice clean rectangle. http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/u...99/Yt61283.jpg Remove the plastic edge around an HL five pin socket. http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/u...99/Di98523.jpg Insert the socket into the lego Cut a styrene tube in half lengthwise Mark the positive and glue the tube as shown to align the TBU correctly. http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/u...99/Lf95661.jpg The TBU will plug into this nicely. Simple and very inexpensive solution for making TBU mounts. |

Freakin Brilliant.!!!!!! Nice one Dan. How are the new DBCRC3's coming along. I'm quite certain this will be the electronics package I will be using in my Hobby Engine tanks ( Abrams/LEO).
