Gizmo's R2-D2 Build Log. Just another Jedi mind trick! Cost: $x for 1/4″ threaded rod and wing nuts. This entry was posted in Body. April 28, 2014. Horseshoes, shims and hubs.

Gizmo's R2-D2 Build Log. Just another Jedi mind trick! Time for new wheels! Ran into a problem with the Banebot wheel/hubs on the jaycar motors. No matter what I tried the hubs would eventually slip on the drive shaft. The drive shafts of the jaycars are keyed, but the banebot hubs are not and require a set screw. I tried dimpling the set screw, using loc-tite, etc with no success. Eventually the hub would come loose and slip. The worse part of the hub slipping was the hub would then get stuck on the sha...
