Team Avenger build diary

Finally got around to starting my FW rebuild for the champs and got tons done

Ive kept the old metal parts from V1, but scraped the 8mm hdpe base and lid in favour of 3mm steel, re-wired my battery pack and esc's

got the motor holes drilled and motors mounted

taking a few ideas from all over the place really

The main shell will be bolted to the base (much like 540) with all the electrics mounted to that

the main shell is fully welded, as is the base and back (the back will be 5-6mm steel) so the whole bot comes in 2 sections, should make it much easier to work on and generally stronger

hope tomorrow I shall get the esc's mounted and have a little drive, will get the battery box welded onto the base next week as well as the RX and BEC box done

All coming together well, will hopfully finish with time to spare for the champs, though as its me, I doubt I will
