ok so i started soldering various bits together namely the removable link and suddenly realized i wasn't sure how long the motor wires would need to be so i stuck with making the little section that connects the removable link to the battery and in other fun news my lipo charger that i have only does 1-3 cell lipos...great goodbye more money (incidentally everyone needs to go to ranglebox and get some of the m4 nutstrips they weigh next to nothing and are beautifully made even if you don't need one they will make a nice decorative feature)

also today the mounting bolts for the motors arrived if your new like me and didnt know its a 3mm bolt that the 1000rpm gear motors from ebay take
these ones :

take these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1607928107...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

i know loads of people probs know that but incase any newbies read this in the future and another tip for those that are new weigh stuff yourself dont rely on the weights given by the website my battery is a good 20g lighter than stated on the hobbyking page for it duno why but it could be the little bit of weight i need for extra armour
