Well there is an extra layer of armour on the back that can be trimmed back in size, the wiring harness is very heavy and a lot of the wires could be shortened.
Holes have been drilled in the tyres in the past .
Or he could put less coats of painstakingly airbrushed paint on it.

I've probably added about 30grams to mine from spray paint...
So more rear armour eh... what would that be made of...? _________________ ( •_•)
Yes IG3’s shell is all gas bottle stainless now, I am not popular with Matt and Rob.

Thats quite likely to happen thanks Andrew. I'm out of Jaycar spares, so I'll be collating my motor/gearbox combo's and deciding which ones to go with..
I'm hoping to get back close to the pushing power I.G. had at RoboWars II
Just wondering if the tack would be useful for sorting out your drill collection.
I still have a couple of KK2’s if you wont them.

No more vulnerable angel grinder gear box to break off, narrower track so even more maneuverable, spinning bar weapon belt driven, virtually all the weight on the drive wheels for maximum traction and maneuverability. Drives still rubber mounted with outboard bearing to take the strain off the drills, lots of air Armour if anything can dent the shell, I am actually very pleased with this version considering how little time was available.

VN commodore V8 condenser fan motor. Brett wonted to go brushless but I talked him out of it for the time being, personally I think they are a bad idea, am prepared to consider them but so far I have a doubt.
