Just a quick one, in my last post i said that Hatchet 1 would basically be retired well i've decided that i just can't do that yet, i feel it deserves at least getting put back together for whiteboards and non spinner events. So it will get a few improvements as well as enough to get it running for the time being such as...

Wheels need re-treading, getting beached/lack of grip cost me dearly in so many fights at the champs

New/old escs, i'll just put something simple and cheap in since it won't be a competition machine

Lipo, Let's face it, it needs one

Ball transfer units, it scrapes it's arse across the floor too much, so these will push the front scoop down and also help to lower the friction.

I'll also be adding some steel plate to the front, what this will do is add more weight to the front helping to even out the weight distribution and i'll put the bolts holding the scoop on through them as well to help anchor the scoop.

Hatchet 2 i've now decided will be my full combat machine only which means i'll be going all out, same basic design as before chassis wise but i'll be going for maximum power..

I'll hopefully get a new axe made up at some point for Hatchet 2, roughly the same size/weight but a smaller, thicker head

I'll be going for a more powerful motor 350w compared to Hatchet's 300w, and also the axe will be run on 6s on a 5.5:1 reduction up from 3.5:1

The axe will also have a hacked TZ85 controlling it rather than the old 30 amp Electronize which will be staying in the current machine.
