rough mockup for wiring.. got some 30mm thick impact foam or whatever its called which will create sections for each component and provide lots of shock protection..



and looking at that a cover around the motor would be good.. shall see what i come up with

indeed.. providing i actually did the balancing correctly when drawing it up it should be somewhat perfectly balanced.. so it should translate without too much hassles.. i will do some tests during the week but no real point atm until the proper tooth is cut out.. might just bolt on some extra weight for the time being

Going to be so many cnc'd robots at this event lol. I like it!

Looks nasty indeed. Here's hoping it can move

got it wired good enough to give it a spin.. i just had it all sitting as in the above photo so i knew it would be out of balance.. the battery location needs to be moved.. but ill get to that soon enough.. it smooths out eventually...
though i think i shorted the heading led and its blown something on the B-328 so might need to get another one of them hmm..



also i lasered out some steel teeth to get the right weight as the bis ones that will be done soon.

*dylon* Oh this test isn't NEARLY unsafe enough *turns light off* there we go much better.

xD if the led wasn't shorting and slowly getting dimmer it would have looked cool.. i thought something was wrong with it since when its at half throttle the arc is supposed to be solid and when its at full its supposed to be pulsing dots.. ah well they are like 20 bucks.. one is on the way

all done pretty much.
just gotta cut out the bis teeth or if i cant get that done in time stainless will do and wire in another b-328 and should be good to go

pretty quick build for something so full on.
doesnt it need hundreds of hours of tweaking and testing time?

haha pfft i dunno i guess you would to get it working even better then it is.. but it drives and works fine.. don't really need to mess with it

The beauty of that code is that it will work.

If it does. Dont touch it. You are doing better than most meltys.
