So The Honey Badger got trashed at Manchester but I am determined to get Kaizen mobile for Grantham. Polycarbonate base plate and HDPE bulkheads are on order and heading over to me tomorrow. I'll be outfitting this one with 6mm stainless steel all around (given how heavy Tango's lid was at Manchester, I don't think I'll have any trouble making the lower limit now :P).
I had bought a pair of CIM motors for this with the intention of getting either 4:1 or 12:1 gearboxes for those but thinking about it, I might go back to the 500W motors currently fitted given that during Manchester, I learned a technique for securing the hubs to wheels which I wasn't sure if it would work but seemed to quite nicely. Need to figure out a way to get the nut off the motor without a vice though :S
