There's also this bolt, that sandwitches the gimbal together, tightening it might help with cracking sound (usually on the roll axis)

walmisOP•7/16/23, 3:40 PM

Can you make a pic from the top? And other angles?

walmisOP•7/16/23, 3:44 PM

Those 5 hex bolts need to be quite tight (I set the electric driver torque to 15).
Btw did you put the fan grill screw under the gear? because it will touch the gear

walmisOP•7/16/23, 3:57 PM

Cheers, now you will know the internals too

Jehly•7/16/23, 3:57 PM

Can I just say I appreciate you taking apart yours so I didn't have to, @dudeman8?

Jehly•7/16/23, 3:57 PM

Now I know what it looks like

Dudeman•7/16/23, 4:02 PM

Hahaha. 1/10 would not recommend. I do have a new found appreciation of the engineering for this thing now

Dudeman•7/16/23, 4:02 PM

miki•7/16/23, 8:43 PM

You must be insane! No way I would take it apart.

Bob Bushman•7/16/23, 9:17 PM

And my thinking is "someone must have put it together the first time! How hard could it be ?"

Bob Bushman•7/16/23, 9:17 PM

Often times.
Hard.

How many pieces did you have left over?

kingjamez•7/16/23, 9:55 PM

Daggum.

kingjamez•7/16/23, 9:56 PM

I built my own and that would terrify me.

kingjamez•7/16/23, 9:56 PM

@dudeman8 learned that 800Euro for a built and assembled by hand Rhino is the steal of the century.

ddrake1984•7/16/23, 10:02 PM

@dudeman8 what was the fix? Which screw was in the wrong spot?

Dudeman•7/16/23, 10:06 PM

I put one of the fan grate screws in the wrong place, which was causing the pulley to scrape against it

Dudeman•7/16/23, 10:07 PM

Yeah don’t take this thing apart if you don’t have to. I wasted a lot of time trying to put it back together

As far as I'm concerned, @walmis put black magic in there and that's all I care.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but my order is held up in customs here in the USA. It's flagged at FedEX as needing a form. How do I get this?

It might need this form: https://www.fedex.com/content/dam/fedex/eu-europe/resources/GB_EN_2021_12_master_pdf_NA_Electric_Motor_and_Generator_Worksheet_marketing.pdf
I'll submit it tomorrow. You can also try to call FedEx to figure out what exactly do they want (if not the above).

Wwalmis It might need this form: https://www.fedex.com/content/dam/fedex/eu-europe/resou...

Bearclaw•7/17/23, 8:45 PM

Will do. I tried calling them already but kept getting shuffled around and ran out of time. I’ll try again this evening. EDIT: Just got off the phone with FexEX. They don’t know what form it is they need, but they’re going to get back to me on it. It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic. I’ll let you know as soon as I know.

Nneok Thanks! What pot did you buy?

kingjamez•7/18/23, 1:30 AM

Sorry, I’m not sure what you are asking beyond what I already said: Shaft long enough to tighten down and 10k ohm. That’s 100% the description.

Thanks. As described in that post, FedEX is useless. It’s like the “something went wrong” pop up on Macs, except with them you can reboot and go on about your life. EDIT: sorry, not trying to bust your chops; frustrated with FedEX. I appreciate the help!

Reed•7/18/23, 1:12 PM

Is this correct pot I would need to add? Where is the connection to the rhino? How much disassembly is required?

The thread is hidden by the cap in both pictures but it looks short to my eye. They've blurred the bottom but it looks like the one I have (BI P160KN9G) and that is too short for Rhino. The panel is 9 mm thick so you need ~ 12 mm of thread to get through and be able to tighten it down. I'm going to add a second pot myself, I'll let you know if I find a good one that is easy to install.

Reed•7/18/23, 5:18 PM

Please do. Thank you

LeLv30_Superbus•7/18/23, 5:30 PM

oh no my local store doesn't have anything for panels thicker than 6 mm. Next I'd open up the Rhino and see what kind of pot Walmis used. I bet he didn't install it the easy way. Going that way any common cheap 10k pot would suffice.

LeLv30_Superbus•7/18/23, 5:43 PM

Dudeman's video shows it. The pot is sunk in. It's not 9 mm but maybe 5 mm and this way you can use most cheap pots. I've sunk stuff like this, it's not hard but you do need a suitable drill bit.

LeLv30_Superbus•7/18/23, 5:45 PM

Or am I seeing things? What do you think?

walmisOP•7/18/23, 6:22 PM

The pot mounting is pocketed, since the material is too thick for standard pots. It's 8mm.

FedEx: "Your shipper needs to send a specialized statement for it to clear customs" Me: "I understand that, and the shipper is waiting to hear what that statement is. If you tell me what it is, I can tell him what it is. We're both motivated to get me this package." FedEX: "They need to submit a specialized statement." Me: "What does the statement need to say?" FedEX: "It needs to be a specialized statement." Me: "You keep saying that like it's informative... do you hear that it tells me absolutely nothing about what the statement... I'm sorry, SPECIALIZED statement... needs to say?" FedEX: "your shipper needs to submit a speciali----" Me: "Ohhhhhhh.... a SPECIALIZED statement... why didn't you say so in the first place?" FedEX: "Yes, sir. They need to send that. Please hold after the call for a brief Customer Service Survey." This was, of course, after spending 10 minutes navigating their automated phone support tree. For the life of me, I don't understand how they stay in business. So, @walmis , you may be getting a call or email from FedEX with their requirements for the contents of this alleged "specialized statement". I appreciate your help in this. _Erik
