I'd wager poorly, CF hates point loads.
I'd add any thickness of steel to it as teeth

Nice! Qld beetles ftw!

Wheels are pretty amusing. I was thinking of making a quick beetle using regular size servos too - but i have two proper beetle ESC's and like 4000 of those ebay gearmotors now so it was a bit pointless Smile

Looking forward to fighting it Smile

I'm still working on the design, had a few parts arrive the other day to help spur it along, but need time to test and design bits.
