nothing but trouble rebuild! (fw)

cheers, and nah well i dunno why but i still prefere to draw it all up by hand rather than using cad, for alot of what you see i've got to scale cardboard templates (will put a pic up when i've got a sec) and i just program it all on the control panel on the machine. few bits had to be worked out on cad like the bottle holder section and the positions of the axles to the motors for the motor mounts

[calumco]

designed and started making an electronics holder to hold the reciever, BEC, etc etc. it will mount to the top of the other sides drive mount when i hopefully finish it tomorrow afternoon.

few more bits to do to it yet- the bottom wants skimming off to leave a little mounting block like on the lipo box and a little lid making.

started designing the weight saving i was going to do on the main bulkheads.
designed it on paper first then cadded it up and got the program wrote up on my machine and took a pic of the graphics (last picture)

I love the way everything has a home and it's so neat and compact! Which motors are they you have? And as they look a bit massive do you have a beefy controller for them? Oh...second stupid question, is one bottle the supply and the other the buffer?

[calumco]

Cheers .... and they are speed 900s and ive a pair of victors to drive them. And yeah the black bottle is the main bottle and the grey one at the back is the buffer. It will be awhile till i make another like this its taken about 5 months worth of after hours at work so far lol

This is turning out proper nice calum, makes me want to start building stuff again hahaha

[Revsmin]

Cheers, and sorta kronic style or like the feather weight flow

It sure does XD
