old and new next to each other, not going to put any of the central box section on, just going for 3.2 hardox instead to make all the shape.
more to come soonComment

Re: The Grim Reaper!!
Definitely an extensive restoration you've gone to the trouble of doing, looks excellent.
Were the top panels changed purely to upgrade them to Hardox (assuming the old ones were thin-ish steel or something?) or even to change the wheels to something a bit smaller and cover up the holes?
As you mentioned the wheel setup, do they do any good having the wheel cutouts when upside down or were the holes just put these because the wheels were too big?Comment

Re: The Grim Reaper!!
Think the wheel cut outs were there as the weight was too tight to cover them upComment

Re: The Grim Reaper!!
cheers
I've started making new lids because the old ones are from series 7 of robot wars and show it lol they are bent and don't fit properly any more either
they were made from 20-20mm box with 1-2mm steel and with that each panel had 10mm poly on the top where as the new ones im making just have a 20-20mm outer box section frame and 3.2 hardox inside with no poly on the top.
im planning on having 10mm poly around the lower outsides as it used to have to hopefully save the base of the chassis taking anymore major damage/impacts as its not in amazing condition- but over all its not too bad
as for the wheel cut outs as matt said i think, and i don't think the wheels where big enough to run upside down. atm im either 125mm blue wheeling it or go kart wheeling it which in the end will determin whether or not any wheels will stick out of the top

Re: The Grim Reaper!!
Think I may be going for blue wheels with BB eventually, save some weight and give me space for buffers :twisted:Comment
