Middleweight project

Design looks good, will be interested in the 3D prints, what material is the filament? I'd go with Rollcage personally.

The material for the "shell" i'm planning to use is semi-flexible TPE, and cheap and cheerful PLA for most of the mockup parts, as well as for the internal mounting points for the ESc's, batteries etc.

Update:

After a lot of trial and error, I finally managed to print al the parts in needed to build the prototype. I still need to install the electronics, but hey, at last there's actual (visible) progress!

Looking good, can't wait to see it rolling about soon

Interesting ideas thought I would show an old picture of Saint Hammer during its first build. about 2008 I think

Update:

I'll be honest, not alot has happened since my last post over a year ago. This is mainly due to me being involved in starting up an indi game studio, which is jolly exciting but does eat up a lot of spare time.

Recently I've started to assemble the electronics but found that the 20-someting-year-old ESC's are just too big and end up pretty much crushing the rest of the components and tearing out the wires when I tried to assemble the frame around it.

So the next step is to see if I can get hold of some smaller, more modern ESC's (the old ones are 35A controllers that are about half the size of a brick each) and see if that will work.
