Introduction: R/C Grinder Gear!
take an old rc helicopter and make a new toy!
i am pretty sure that this can be done with any helicopter that can be taken apart.
Step 1: Gather Ing the Materials.
im sorry if this picture is fuzzy, but my cam sucks.
the materials are;
1.old rc helicopter
(these are from the heli)
2.the battery recharger
3.the rechargable battery
4.the motor(it needs to have a metal gear)
5.the control panel+antenna
6.the remote control(not in pic)
7.electrical tape
Step 2: Assembly #1
take the battery and the control panel and tape them together as shown.
you need to make sure that the 2 plugs can connect after taping.
Step 3: Assembly #2
take the completed battery assembly and the motor. whe n taping these, you neec to be careful not to tape over the heat holes.
after taping , connect the wire from the motor into the slot.
Step 4: Finishing Up
first get the antenna and tape it to the side of the control panel
then hook up the battery.
there u go!
Step 5: Using It
all u need to do is find something to grind,(plastic is best)
turn on the remote control and the grinder, and rev it up!

Your gear looks like it is made of brass. With reference to e.g. this instructable:

-could you adapt the cutting part?

Take a video, then go to YouTube, upload it there, and use the code that they give you to put it up. Won't this wear out the gear? I was thinking about doing this as a head for my homemade Dremel, but it seems it would wear out. The train that I made it from had a gear on it to drive the wheels.
