Back down to my parents place in Edinburgh today to do some work in their garage whilst i'm still getting my own workshop in order in Aberdeen.

With the increase in weight going to the larger motor and needing a small lipo pack for the drive as the converted turnigy can only handle 6s I needed to find a good few hundred grams of weight. The ideal place to find this was the 22mm nylon bulkheads. Each one weighed around 300g a piece and didn't provide much in the way of structural support. So I decided to replace these with 2mm titanium welded to the base. This makes a whole lot more space internally and saves around 400g in weight. Got the gimsons mounted and the shafts shortened. They give me more space than the old drill motor gearboxes.





The new motor fits in nicely and those observant will also notice I put the timing pulley on the lathe and took the teeth off it to act as a clutch. Should hopefully help reduce the stress on the motor and esc.

Got my replacement castle creations on the way back from the states as well after burning it out in yeovil last year.
