Not raining and I had an idea how to fix the wheels. So this still has temporary axles and is just a test bed. Hell it's quick! I think I got my calculations wrong for my speed estimate. I need to measure them again, I wonder if the diameter was just the hub? With so much weight at back it definitely needs wheelie bars. I need to retain the battery and build a cover or at least roll bars. Then I can play with this and improve my driving skills while I design the my first real robot. I would plan to have inside wheels if possible. Weight could be the issue though, I need to weigh what I have already and see what I have to play with for chassis, armour and weapon.

Note: the sticks have ramping on and I never got more than a few degrees of movement. When I tried I wheelied and flipped. May need to adjust the gearing to slow it down a tad.
