pictures! pictures to come shortly, as there mostly on my phone in another room...

So, alot has happened with one busy week and weekend!

I will just say that it is less than a week to go, sorry its 3 days away...

Hmmm...

And what a day to loose your transmitter

So update:

Front panels drilled using some solid cobolt drills from tool station
middle plate made and welded together so the front panel is nw a single plate.

Side panels made and welded together - todo weld on mounting plates and add screw holes (welded nuts)

Rear motor plate split and parts made to extend the base to add more mounting holes. Expect this area to take a beating

Axe arm made - making axe head tomorrow by welding plate hardox together

Panels for internal framework made and fitted.

BASE PLATE - omg what a lovely thing, Made by Adrian - contacted through the forums - weblink. Quick turnaround and good comms, also very good price. Thank you!

Screws made to hold wheels in place.

Spare wheels bought and nut inserts made

Gearing for the axe mech has been made, however im not happy with the gearing, sadly due to my design i wanted the gears not to be exposed, im left with a gear ratio of 6:1 so 3 revs of the motor is an axe hit... i need to wire this up to check but it should be much bigger than that to get the hit.

And finally... the electrics.
Now i have the framework done, i can get to finally fitting the electronics. Thats right, its only had a test drive with bits stuck in with tape... not a fully finished job.

Thnk i have my work cut out! and some late nights at work comming.....
