So now i have signed up for Portsmouth and Cheltenham, i need to make some progress. - Brief update as i cant really type for a long time!

I have been grinding the Hardox and welding, machining the brackets to hold on the plates.
Wiring has started, but im after 2 more TZ85A looking at alternative hobbyking turnigy ESC, otherwise its the Feather 2 from Alex.

I have aquired an electric actuator from a mobility scooter that just tilted the seat, it fits inbetween the gap where the Axe mech sits, and im thinking i could use it for a small lifter if the axe doesn t pan out. Testing on a 4S battery is good speed so with some level advantages i should be able to lift something before it drives away from me!

The one question i do have is the base...

Im thinkinng i may go for 6mm Polycarbonate as i have a large sheet available for me, but maybe HDPE? aluminium?
What do you guys use?
