Fast Traxx Fabrication
« on: December 10, 2010, 20:47:48 »
I need help fabricating a battery cover for my several Fast Traxx. I have bought all my Fast Traxx RC vehicles used, not online or ebay, so they didn't come with a description of mint condition or NIB. Every one of my Fast Traxx don't have their battery cover. Duct tape has worked, but it is a temporary fix. Is there a website that i can by a battery cover? Looking for any ideas to fabricate a battery cover??





http://myworld.ebay.com/roadstar24/  I love the fact of how many Tyco Fans are on this forum!!
I am a huge fan of Tyco, Vintage Radio Shack & other vintage RC cars.

i havent seen any new covers you can buy yet anywhere, i seen one made that looked pretty good by a guy here that would be your best bet, if you have a jig saw and some time you could make one out of some thin sheet metal or aluminum, you would wanna make it as one piece meaning on one end you would leave a small sqaure tab sticking off boths side to come back with a sanding wheel on a dremel to round the tabs into pegs to work as the hinge, lum would be better for this because you could squeeze it enuff that it bowes enuff to get the pegs in the ring of the fast traxx chassis



thats my take on it

velcro works well. and it you actually want to put doors on it then it doesn't leave anything behind.

Thanks for the heads up, haha. The pics showed up on my Firefox browser, which I mainly use. When I pulled up Internet Explorer the pics didn't show up. I changed up how the pics where posted. Can you see the pics now??

Great fabrications!!  I have a question that would fall more under modification than fabrication. Has anyone modified a Tyco RC from a 6.0volt to a 9.6v or 7.2v pack?

i certainly haven't i'm not that skilled yet, but some of these other guys who do hobby grade material might know something, i'd say you would need a different circut board to start
