Looking very neat and will be quite good made of hardox.
What kind of motors will you use?

I don't, I prefer a fully hardox chasis that should hopefully keep Thor at bay :wink:

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

you can always use the wood version as a foot stool when you get the hardox version done

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

Would be a bit big

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

Just think of it as ablative armour........

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary


Today we created a new, removable wedge ready for the UK Champs
3.2mm hardox, much longer, and pivots (i.e. is flush to the ground either ways up)
Now weighs 12.1kg

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

Gearboxes finished at long last

[jonny]

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

awesome! where did you get the bosch 750's and how did you make the gearboxes?

[blazerbotics]

Re: Team Invade's Build Diary

Looking very good, similar to Kronics gearboxes, and they're about the only part i've not managed to brake yet!

You can get Boschs from Ellis Components
