HardWired - Upgrades and general build diary

[Flag Captured]

Thought I'd give HardWired Evolution a spin today, and the ebay speed controllers have for whatever reason both decided to short out (presumably due to the dreadful soldering on them, picture of that posted a short while back) and, well... Let's just say HardWired Evolution won't be seeing the light of day in that format again. The seller won't do refunds either, nor do they accept any fault with the product (blaming it on me) so that's a battery, two speed controllers and I'd assume two motors down. Still got my radio gear, thankfully, so the beetle's going to be my 'main' focus until I can afford to replace all the equipment in HardWired. Probably just as well, considering I was going to buy some BotBitz 85a's and a 6s lipo along with some 18v motors and brushless motor for the new disc weapon, but I'd rather have had the old equipment to play about with still.
Have got a quite ridiculous weapon almost built for the beetle, so that should be a laugh in the meantime.
