Just realised there is a build diary section ! So here is the beetleweight underway.

It's based on the trilobyte design but converted a bit into metric, I'm on the way now for a chassis by the weekend, botbitz ESC arrived last week, but have been a week so far in Heathrow customs. I'm hoping to have a rolling chassis running. Also had some hubs on order but they have been delayed two weeks as well so might have to turn up some copies.
I started with a 3D print to check sizes and then cut some HPDE for the rails. To clear the motors I just used a blacksmith 25mm drill which has a reduced shank to fit the pillar drill. Opened it up first with a 12mm stub drill. Panels are from 1.5mm ally , which the jigsaw cut clean with a metal cutting blade, some lubricant and the oscillator turned off
