Well, Mike Lodd is finished.
All I gotta do is stuff the body up when I try to paint it.
The suspension works reasonably well, I'm gonna put some softer springs in it to see how things go but not having shock doesn't seem to affect it's crawling performance. I gotta say the bias to the front axle when climbing is a bit annoying and I'm running and EVX speedyie so I can't try series vs parallel.

10T pinions, 2 $17 Jaycar motors and 14.4V work quite well. If I could get a set of 8T pinions it would be perfect.

It would be a shame to wreck that rig of yours with a dodgy paint job.
Its a pitty you don't know some one that could paint it for you .
A nice flame job maybe? or a flag design?
Dont let all the design work go into the chassis.

We can't get any pinions at the moment, but we're looking into it.
We'll let everyone know when we get them.
As for the plate, I just made one from some aluminiumm plate I had. It's way cheaper than buying one off the shelf. Check out Thunder Tech for ideas at http://www.thundertechracing.com/motormnt.htm
