we shall start the bidding at $20
better say something about the frame too. i ran out of 4.5mm stainless so i had to make the big panel out of 3mm.. should get rid of plenty of weight. i reckon you could get a weapon into this if you got some decent batteries. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

cost - free, shane and i pulled all the sheets out of the local dumpster. we still have about 5 or so sheets and i reckon there will be a ton more down there..
weight - ahhh not too sure but with the box section on there itll be pretty close to 6kg.
i just cut it up with the angle grinder and cutting disk. the cd thin ones are really awesome for making neat cuts. then you can just run it over the bench grinder to clean up the edges and round off the corners.
edit - its got me thinking now angus. it should weigh 12.5kg like that... if you can buy some 9.6v nicad packs from ebay or something, maybe you could give me your 12v motors and you can have a brand new pair of 9.6v ones, then youll have the same power for about 600g less battery weight or so... then there will be plenty of weight for a weapon
and heres the guts.
its really small. im sure we can get the controllers in between the batteries and the motors and shove some weapon in the center.. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

This thread is all the off-topic waffle everyone got into in RoadKills thread. There is a new thread already started to continue discussion of Weapons, and anti "J-Word" Tactics.
If anyone wants any of the messages in here in their thread (ahem, glen and your build pics), then you can cut'n'paste them where they belong. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
