Eggbeater

Cheers guys.

Alex, what's Susan?

[Andy]

Mine is just a pile of bits at the moment, need to get a move on with CADing something up and putting it together

[Eventorizon]

Both looking great! Lets see if your 4WD can out push my 6WD. I hope I can get Anvil and Susan built in time for the event.

[Andy]

That motor support is looking really nice, so is the scoop on the pusher :P

Eggbeater reliability is going up. Need to get my arse into gear for the beetle comp at the AWS. New electrics sorted. Need to buy a battery as the old one is cattled.

New frame is happening, probs going to be aluminium. Most things I can do I need to find a way of doing bearing pockets very cheaply. I really need a boring head lol

Drive is staying the same as it worked. Shape is being kept because cool. Getting rid of the curved back because its a pain to armour and it's needless.





Machined a motor mount. Overkill but I always feel uneasy using outrunners without supporting the end. Especially with the cheapy ones. Nice and chunky and should fit in the frame well and stop anything getting caught in the rotating can.


Also got a proper wedge made up for the 4wd drive all day thing. 4mm steel, weighs 420g. Total weight without any hinges or grinding the wedge flat etc is about 1360g.

Didn't even get Spinza started, let alone complete enough to bring.

Yesterday it was just me and Will with beetles, should be a few today (and I'm missing out )

[harry hills]

Yeah. Idk how many are going, or if any went today.

[mattsdragons]

Be good to see some BW's tomorrow, just coming down for a bit to see everyone as it's my local show

[plargen]

lol im gonna struggle to get up that early

[harry hills]

Right ho. Well I'll aim for then but long drive/traffic/early mornings may happen.

[plargen]

when i asked they said we have to get there for 9.30 due to that meeting
also to be honest i don't think my BW will lat long lol

[harry hills]

Sweet! I look forward to it. I'll be there around 10, 10:30 or so.

[plargen]

Sadly its not totally finished. Bringing it to Whitwick tomorrow along with Shane's beetles to have a knock around. Beat up some inanimate objects or have some fun fights or a little comp if there is magically enough people
