I do win scratch offs alot
In all seriousness, it is one of two ways to have a reliable phantom. Be an experienced person who knows how to go through everything to find the flaws and know how to correct them, OR get lucky that they send you a good one.

Look what found today .been practicing drilling Holes in the crank I had f***ed, trying with a battery power drill on one of those sears drill press stands .yeah this is way easier, loving the cobalt drill bit that I found at home Depot too.

What do y'all use as coolant /lubricant for drilling I've been using wd40 but I'm sure there's gotta be something better maybe I should get YouTube certified in drilling I'm just going on instincts rn
Nothing magical, just use a couple drips of 30w or 40w oil
Or use your 2 stroke oil

Dawn dish soap & water mixed in a spray bottle works great & its alot cheaper than oil. Does just as good a job as your oils.

I guess it's OK to drill a garbage crank that way. If it was a real case of balancing, you would want to put something between the halves.

The side force from the bit will push the lobes toward each other. A block between the lobes while drilling helps prevent this.
When the drilling is done you have to make sure the spacing between the crank lobes is the same all the way around.
If you do not do this the shafts will wobble.....killing the seals....and causing lots of bad vibes.
A dial indicator in various places on the crank will show the out of true conditions.
A search will point you to balancing and truing. A lot of sharp members posted plenty on this topic.
