Cicatrix Build Diary

The batteries charged to 1.2Ah earlier, must've been completely dead. The wheels and carpet are probably giving it far too much resistance you're right, the pictures don't do it justice when I was trying to show what my dad was talking about, its like stripes on a football pitch the way its pulling the carpet around. I'll do a test on the laminate or outside after i've charged the batteries again and see how it all goes there.

As you mentioned earlier, the link is an absolute nightmare to get in with the shell on :lol:

Word of warning: tyres like that (and bike tyres) tend to leave nice black streaks on laminate, especially if the wheels are being spun up fast or sliding across the floor. If your dad wasn't too impressed with the carpet, I'd advise against the laminate! Unless of course the laminate is in a completely inconspicuous place that no-one cares about.

And yes, absolute nightmare. Although maybe that's a bit of an understatement :P

Said laminate is in the middle of the living room...maybe do it in the garage instead... :lol:

Its like, round a corner and all sorts, will definitely need looking at.

Mini update time

Go a few quid over the christmas period, as i'm sure a number of us did, with the instruction to not just put it in the bank but to buy something I wanted with it. So here is what I wanted :proud:

Left to right it is...

1st: Cant remember what it was called when Will had it (Cyclone maybe?) I remember seeing a video of it a long while ago, but really just to fit in with my teaching stuff and it uses things that will be both new and recognisable to the kids, also fits nicely as far as weight is concerned.

Also, it looks so much like Cicatrix will with the drum pod attached and even has the same multi-weapon system.

2nd: 3700mAh batteries for Eric Jr. It needed them, self explanatory :lol:

3rd: SBEC for Cicatrix as its old one is in Rover


Thinking of a name for the BW, as it is so similar to Cicatrix but 10x smaller, anyone reckon Minitrix would be a decent enough name? Or maybe something like Cicatrice (means scarring, Cicatrix means Scar) Thoughts/suggestions welcomed :D

what about
