If you're talking about the glue on my stretch job, then 'hot glue'. If you aren't then I have no idea what you're talking about.

Did you figure out the steering yet? I am working on a pan chassis also, and I wanted to make the steering lower profile also.

I am using very thin aluminum (less than 1/32'' thick) cuts fine with tin snips, just cut a little large and file edge to smooth out.

ok, i have 2 ideas concerning steering...
One is a linear approach, like the stock steering, and one is a rotary approach, with a pivot between the magnet and the arm that goes to the knuckles, much like a servo. I have done some more thinking on the motor clip and axle bracket, and got some material. the motor clip would be easier to make with music wire, especially since i could not find any spring steel sheet readily, and the axle bracket is .016 aluminum now, instead of the .032 like i have drawn. I will have some more renderings up at some point.

It really is the best way to go as far as the combination of design and drafting. I love it.
