HardWired II

[Flag Captured]

Hopefully! I think you just need a little bit more in he way of clearance or just grippier tires. You'll get more grip at the heavy events anyway because they're wooden floors and the screws will get a bit more grip than on metal I'd guess... Not ideal but it's a start!

Looking forward to having that scrap if you're at Barnsley too! HardWired will probably have some small upgrades before then, it's my birthday before so I might have a bit of money with which to upgrade, but we'll see.

I'm hoping to have HardWired III built before the end of the year so I'm well ahead and I've got time to refine and iron out any creases. I hope to get to a full combat event before next years champs with both machines, but I don't know whether that's doable. Just depends on when they get built I suppose.

HardWired II will stay relatively untouched, just refined- the shape will get a bit of a change because the sides are drum-bait as 720s hit proved... Maybe some removable skirts or something. Other than that, just making a move towards more weight, more grip and more control, really. I'd like to have the sheer push of BonX, Satanix and Tiny Toon but in a smaller, tougher shell. Ideally I'd like stupid speeds right at the top end of the sticks but that's a programming thing I'll have to sort. Brushless might mean that I can have wider wheels or two side by side since the motors won't be as big. Tempted to get some of those 750w NTM ones for testing's sake and rehouse those into HardWired III when I get that done. HWII will end up with the beefiest motors I can get in there.

Going to get started on designing HWIII soon, just need to get some decent CAD software and a working computer, and I'm good to go.

Put these motors in it!! Just for the sake of uberdrive!!
