Another one of those pesky updates.

The motor U bolts went in over this week and I've been drilling the drive gears to attach the wheels onto. After destroying the clutch on one drill, I ended up with a B&Q £15 drill to go through solid steel with. A small hint, they are not beefy enough (smoke was pouring out of the drill) but eventually, got the gears drilled, the U bolts in and amazingly, through some kind of accident, it works.

I say works, there is still a lot to do. In no particular order:


  • The batteries need securing down
  • The wiring loom needs a bit of a tidy up and extending for the axe
  • The axe drive gear needs drilling for the axe arm
  • The axe arm and head needs building
  • The axe ESC needs putting in
  • The steel box section need painting
  • The top panel needs a hole for the removable link, power lights and the locking mechanism for the axe.
  • Fixed front castors need installing.


Much to do, not a lot of time to do it in. Eeek :P
