Just make sure you drill a 4mm hole for them or they just chew up the hdpe.

Over the weekend, I managed to finally finish the drum and get it mounted in the chassis.

Then modified the chassis to fit the new wheels on by cutting off the wheel guards, they weigh about 600g so I can add some more somewhere else...

For the Robodojo this weekend I am running the drum with a NTM5060, which is probably a bit under powered. I have ordered a TP Power 4070 1000kv which should fit in the battery compartment (the batteries will move) and make the drum much more powerful.

There is also some talk of using a TP Power 5870, which might be a bit too big for a featherweight, but hey if it can drive upside down using the drum as a wheel I won't be complaining!
