Ellis int the only one who is learning a proper CAD program

Got most things finalised just got to cut the rest of the parts and put it together. Oh and pray my weight calculations are correct.

Motors arrived. I got a couple for spares in case I need them along with some escs to be spares too.



Pretty nice, only anoying thing is the stepped shaft :/



I'll grab a bit of 4mm silversteel stock off ebay and replace it no big deal.

Cheers.

What CAD program did you use to make that? It looks really cool and should be deadly when its done, really looking forward to seeing it running.

[harry hills]

Autodesk Inventor. I'll get round to nicking a copy of solidworks sometime but this works just fine.

Nevermind seeing it run, I just want to run mine into it Looks brilliant at this stage (the cad and the build)

[harry hills]

Tough to beat with your 20mm armour. Hmmmm. Just keep the wheels exposed on the next one

[SamO]

is that rendered in Inventor? which version are you running?

[harry hills]

Nah rendering is arse for me. I can't get it to look any good. I'm running 2013 because the computers at college ran 2013 and I needed to transfer some stuff back and forth for a while. I think they changed up to 2014 just towards the end and there wasn't much difference except knurling didn't work properly.

Looks like Conker 3 :-P

Wheels will be guarded on the next one, 10mm hdpe has been ordered but if the weight allows it I'll try to go 20mm again on the prongs
Just because it makes it more recogniseable

Is that carbon fibre on the back? Bet this will cause a fair bit of carnage when it sees battle, provided it fits in the arena!

What is that beater actually made from too, always wondered because it actually seems pretty light considering its size...
