Not a bad plan at all! Just need to be careful on the grade of aluminium you get, but I'm sure that'd be suitable - Hardox or something that strong would probably be better, depending on the forces at play with your axe and whatnot - I doubt it'd bend with it being a bulkhead construction but better safe!


In other news with HardWired II, it appears to be dead. Namely, one of the ESCs has just stopped working, which is very weird... they're TZ85As but one of the two just isn't powering up which is odd. Going to see if there's a connection break somewhere, there shouldn't be but testing it on its own should solve that. It doesn't smell like it's blown, so it's got to be some kind of break or the ESC has literally just packed in - I doubt it being the latter, given the proven resilience of them but I obviously can't rule that out if it comes to it. The next one will definitely have neater wiring, I know that for sure...
