So, no pictures or videos this time again, but I managed to get most of the soldering done for the drive motors, with a lot of use of the files to get rid of solder overflow, and a watch/glasses sized screwdriver to push the little buggers into the bloody housing of the links. Not only that, I've managed to make a decent safety link on top of it all, everything is fairly secure too.
Now for the battery... unfortunately, it didn't come with EC5 connectors so I'm going to have to solder that up myself, and then after that, I'm going to have to make my own charging lead, as the ones that came with the charger were xt-60's. So that's a job for tomorrow. And as soon as I have a charged battery, I can do a dry test of all of my wiring, and make sure that when I spin the wheels, the bloody motors won't unscrew and let the wheels off. If that does happen, I'm gonna have to figure out what I'd have to do to make sure they stay on...
