So I upgraded my CR-01 Rock Socker with a 13.5T 3050KV motor and this is what happened after a couple of 7.2 NiMh packs: As you can see the rear one has started to twist due to the increased torque. These parts are hollow so I decided to strengthen them by finding a suitable screw to put through the middle: I needed to use the Dremel on the screw head to reduce its diameter, I also had to cut back the threads a little otherwise the shaft would bulge and bind in the other half of the shaft. I screwed them all the way in and the screw head allows just enough angle on the joint part so there's no issues there. I considered holding the soldering iron onto the screw to melt the plastic onto it or use some superglue or UHU adhesive to bond the parts - but because the screws are a tight fit already I decided to leave them without for now. So far, so good. I'll keep an eye on them.
