Just tidbits to do here too. Beefed up the welds on Drumroll's teeth which has knocked the drum out of balance so needs a bit of adjusting with a grinder/drill. Need to raise the limit switches in Carcinus up a bit as the actuator skimmed over the top of the outer one at Barnsley and ripped itself apart (all fixed now).
Gonna strip them both down after the GSC event and Loctite every bolt/cable-tie every connector in preparation for the champs and then they should be good :)

I've got to balance the bar, then sort out a way of controlling it. Most of the safety stuff I've got covered, locking bars, fuse, lipo bag, cradle and sharp edge protection. Got about 70-80% of the wiring done. I keep taking the thing to pieces and putting it back together so I am used to stripping it down for repairs.
Just realised its three weeks on Friday, time to get my finger out and start getting ready. :uhoh:
@Harry, what are you doing about the link? I've always liked the idea of making a OverHead but could never think of a position to place the link where it wouldn't take my hand off.
Just ordered the final parts for the upgrades to Inertia- just need to get round to working on it now hopefully on Friday when I get home.
What have you got planned?
Predator is almost ready, fitted the links just need to wire it up then fingers crossed its ready for testing.
Just need to charge the lipo's, and make a locking bar for 720's drum, Then organise all the spare parts.
