Mini Thunderbolt Finally Painted But Running Flaky Wavering and Hiccuping

I just finished painting the MiniThunderbolt. I just got it put back together but it's not running very good now. It's wavering and hiccuping. Usually I have to loosen the set scew on the chopper and move it to a different position on the motor shaft and that will make it run better. I don't feel like taking it apart now to do that. When I do it I'll try to get a video of it running better then.

@sentrysiren01 I don't understand the question.....

@vanamonde2 if you make them, i will buy one!

[vanamonde2]

@Coasterintheyard There isn't any place to buy parts for this. The parts I did buy might have been $30-40 at the most. It's the time involved that makes it expensive. PVC is far too crude a material to use for something like this. The material cost of making it out of aluminum isn't that much anyway. Again. It's the machine time that makes it expensive.

@vanamonde2 I think you could save some money buy making the chopper out of pvc. Also, you could buy parts whole sale. It also would be cheaper to make a simple control circuit consisting of 555 timer chips and relays (like I'm using for my homemade siren), what I'm using for my homemade siren.

now it sounds just like an old Thunderbolt... if someone was heartless enought to not give it the TLC it needs.
