Hi all, i've decided that i'm going to start designing a beetleweight version of Hatchet called LYNX, why LYNX? because in America LYNX deodorant is called AXE and i thought that was a cool coincidence. I'm hoping to build this alongside Hatchet 2 and have it ready for the end of this year/beginning of next year. I'll also be trying a Brushless motor for the axe, i realise that this means i'll have to gear it down quite heavily but hopefully i'll be able to get some advice on the best way to do that.

The specs so far (likely to change but it's a start)

HDPE for the chassis, what thickness do people usually go for?
1 -1.5mm Aluminium baseplate
2 1000rpm Ebay gearmotors
Brushless motor for the axe, geared down heavily
Mini Hatchet style axe ( of course)
3s 11.1v Lipo battery
