I don't think they were LDPE. There seems to be two kinds of off the shelf chopping board, the horribly brittle type (literally like glass) I had and the slightly gummy type. I have cracked the latter in tests also. It's very much like a cracky HDPE.Quote:

In any case I'm fighting Niels twice so hopefully it is a slightly cracky type. :D
Valkyre 2 gauged it... No cracks... Took the topplate half off as well.
I tentively put Glutton on the scales today.
I was worried about it's size and I got a bit of work to do.
It does live up to his name it seems...
It can 'eat' another 4 kg at the moment.
The only things missing while weighing it were the wiring and a toplid.
Just had a thought, the material you are using might be UHMWPE, or Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. Certainly looks right. Its designed for high abrasion applications and doesn't warp as it has very low moisture absorption. No idea how to test for it though so just an idea.
Any chance of some pics of it on the scales?
Sure, might get a pic later today or tomorrowQuote:

Sounds and looks really good Niels. Am nervous!
I got nervous as well... It's scary to do this kind of stuff for the first time.
Can't stop grinning either...
Murphy struck again. Everything was going splendidly.
I soldered my xt60's on the esc's, motors and when I wanted to solder the 5.5mm bullet connectors to complete the wiring I couldn't find them anywhere... Ordered some from hobbyking and hope they will arive within 3 days...
Ordered some back-up belts as well. Something tells me they may be needed.
