After many, many years of having an interest in this hobby i've finally found the balls to give it a go. I'm not going to try and make anything too spectacular for my first one so it is going to be as the title suggests...... a boring brick .
Specs at the moment are as follows..

Nylon chassis and baseplate probably 10mm with 10mm hdpe around the sides to hopefully suck up the worst of the damage.
4mm stainless wedge at the front, will probably change to hardox at some point
2 Gimson GR02 18v gearboxes with 70mm wheels
TZ85 speed controllers
2 8.4v 3700ah NIMH batteries in series to give 16.8v

Any comments or suggestions please feel free i'm here to learn after all
Pictures to follow when i start the build
