Massacre - Build Diary

Yeah it's not Hardox, but is a good wear plate recommended and used by Mario. And now me and Ellis.

Really puts it into perspective how much better this could be than last year when you see the bar comparison, definitely one to watch

Ok then

Cut out the base today, which is hardox.

I hope I can keep up the pace on this build :)

It looks TINY how big is the body?

Body is 340x270

Did some work today. Milled out the pockets for the motor faceplates to sit in. 2 motors mounted.

Nice gif! But where's Nicholas Cage in it?

I finished off the pockets for the motors to sit in. Not the most legit work ever but it functions :)

Put everything back together, got the motors in position. They fit quite snugly witch is nice. Frame looks suitably chunky.

And here is working out some positions for the mounting of stuff like the weapon esc, battery mounts/padding and that.

It seems to be coming along quite nicely.

God I hope I don't have to fight this
