I thought I'll tell you what's been done on Mr Pink.
First. New chassis made from 4mm 6082 aluminium plate.
Replacing what I like to call Ebay crap grade.
Second. New bulkheads, I know Dave you said it will be a waste, but I have my reasons. The old bulkheads don't sit straight, because of my jigsaw cutting and of course more ground clearance, 5mm.
Third. I may change the gear ratio from MOD 0.8 20teeth-90teeth to, 20teeth-75teeth. Why you may ask? Well call me paranoid but I have been wandering if the ground clearance killed my pushing power or was it the gear ratio?
20t to 90t gives you greater torque than 20t to 75t. The 75t change will give you more speed, and you will lose torque.
It looks pretty competitive in those videos. I hadn't realised it was so small! In the pictures you have put up it somehow gave me the impression of being huge.
Just for comparative purposes, Satanix runs Mod 1, 12t to 72t (6:1 ratio) on 130mm wheels. Not so good with a dead push but once under something, plenty of power.
It needs some sort of self righter, looks like it would be hardy enough for full combat, but that is pretty flipper laden. Having said that this year's 3rd place managed to get that far without a shrimech!
