Change the title of the thread to "Offset - Team Vertex - QLD

EDIT: You actually did fit all that stuff under it 10 points for insanity...

The Bigger motors fit as well ..just need to do some adjustments as its altered the ground clearance on one side for some reason .

You forgot the TeamVertex - QLD piece in the title

I've assembled those 3600's into 2 x 6v (1 x 5 cell configuration) packs, just need soldered up, which I'll have done before dropping them off to you charged

EDIT @ 1:34AM: I've finished that battery pack now... Just needs cokebottle shrink wrapped

SchmackHed & Offset comparison, Offset being much lower...

Another shot of the pair. Offset should be able to do a nice FBS in emergencies

The underneither. Probably the only place you could even consider as a "soft spot"

Internal shot, pair of HTI motors on DSE 18v gearboxes... Should have some push and speed. 3600 NiCD pack and IBC fit in as well...

Internals close up

Battery pack after hair dryer shrinking, it was later cooked over a single bar heater to make it shrink further and tighter...

Just conning Andrew into installing the flamethrower now

I think the baggage handlers are going to have a hard time wrecking them. Don’t look like they will take up a lot of room in your suite case either.

noice.

thanks i gave it a test run today on a drill pack with the 2 chanel radio it seeems to handle pretty good a bit slower than i had hoped but that might just be the drill pack saging running the two HTI's

Tested on 3600 pack goes a lot better i might have some ground clearance isuses to sort out yet weighed it in at 12.570kgs so still have a little bit to play with

I recieved my spectrum today .I went over to Aarons tonight and he charged up the batery for me .I came home and gave it a trial run it works exelent i just have to work out the rates etc to get it a little more fine tuned .Radio reception is exelant with no glitches even with the reciever buried under 3mm steel and the transmiter right inside a 5mm thick piece of steel box section 15 mtres away on low power with the range test button i had no glitching at all.It drives a bit wierd inverted but stays on its wheels .

I just need to add some funky lights or something on the shell for power indication and its ready to rumble ( I will have to get Aaron to find me a 6mm drill bit that will tackle that steel as my ordinary ones just blunten but wont drill it ) so i can put leds in the holes.
