mcx glues together?

onehot69stepside · 11-13-2008, 03:07 PM

just wondering how it all goes backtogether? do you use a rubberry type glue on it?

All the parts on the mCX are either "friction fit" or screwed together. The only exception is that there is some glue that helps to hold the two drive motors in place. Is there a particular part of the heli you are trying to put back together (or take apart)?

I've replaced one motor.

Cut away the rubbery cement with care, slid out the old, slid in the new. The friction fit is so good, the motor has not moved.

If one needed to find a cement like that, maybe try the stuff used by electricians. Would need to apply with a toothpick though, that brush that comes on the can's cover is meant to paint the stuff on to waterproof connections
