A picture of bits? III has only run motors as a testbed (whilst blowing up a board). The rebuild will be IV even though the differences are slight. The main thing is that the last of the wood will go.
If they ever make 36v Victors then that would be the biz!

Look about half way down at the Victor-HV 36V Speed Controller
Thats impressive. The 48v version actually does handle 48v (ie 4 gel batteries). £215 for the pair is a pretty impressive price.
There are still only 3 middleweigths entered. Where are the others?
Typhoon and the small 259 are retired. So is Phoenix (formerly Malc), I suspect.
The problem is that Typhoon and 259 have killed most of the others already.
You have Alan who is new to middles, and myself and John who are quite mad.
A three way middleweight tussle will be interesting. Power (Broadsword) vs Armour (Steel Sandwich) vs Weapon (Blazer). The main characteristic of each is what you would normally expect in a heavyweight.
I got a web site up at long last.

Rather simple but it does the job.
Alan and John, how are things progressing? Are we all set for the middleweight battle? Ive been making slow but steady progress. I will put a new picture to go up on the site in the next day or so as the top is now finished.
still depends on whats happening with travel for me. as if we only take Merlin and the feathers we can just bring the car, and we dont want to take the trailer that far, especially as it would be nearly empty. If i can sort out getting it there, i will bring Blazer (in some form or another). If i can get the travel sorted in advance then hopefully will get a new one built as theres drive problems with the other (keeps snapping keys and one of the foam in the tyre has collapsed, but i do have a spare pair of bosch 750s lying around, hmmm....starts to wonder :) ).

Bosch 750s? You must be pretty tight on weight as it is. I still rate my CIMs at 36v as the big boys. The trouble at 50 kg is getting grip on the floor. Johns Steel Sandwich has tiny little motors but it never seems to be a problem. Whats this arena made of, plywood or MDF? Im going for spikes but I dont know about how well they would grip on MDF.
Cant anyone give Blazer a lift for you? Its not that big.
Whats John up to? It will be his usual top up the batteries and go. Theres a lot to be said for a robust machine.
