Dimensions of the Slip Ring?

Post by BarryC »

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know the dimension of this Slip Ring sold by RC Legions, specifically the diameter?

TIA,
Barry

To me it looks exactly like the toro ones you can get from forgebear if that’s of any help
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

I think the Mato one forgebear sells is possibly a different make, but could have been produced in the same factory.

Hi Mick,

I was looking at it with reference to the cutting mat. It looks like it is 40mm ish in length and 20mm ish in diameter.

I measured the ring to be 1.726” and the length 2.045”. Give or take a grey hair.
Of course the wire bundle increases the realistic overall length a bit.

Thanks my friend!

What I need is the diameter of the barrel, that which your holding in your fingers in the last pic.
