Not much movement!

I haven't got any further with the plates - I've not had much spare time lately mainly due to to the Kala and Sean being on school holidays and I've otherwise being playing with the Axial. I've been thinking a lot about chassis design - do I really want to do something a bit different or try something more original this time? I'm still not sure which way to go.

Anyway, in the meantime I've been collecting all the basic electricals I'm going to need to at least get this project properly running, these include:

A pair of S/H Gmade 60 turn motors, complete with 9t pinions and adjustable motor mounts @ £35 + £4.50 P+P

A new cheap chinese 300A dual motor output crawler ESC @ £15.00 inc postage (came with a free mini torch keyring!)

A S/H Futaba T3PDF 3-channel transmitter and receiver set, complete with rechargeable battery pack @ £16.50 + £7.50 P+P

I'm going to need a pair of servos next, probably cheap MG995/996Rs, and I still need to get the rest of the alloy axle parts from the US.

Total spent so far is about £140 - some of this was initially as spares for the 'Zilla - and since buying the Wheely King kit mainly for the tyres and beadlocks for this project as well as for the gearbox for the black TL crawler truck I've sold on the rest of it in three lots, differential lockers, 17mm wheel adaptors and wheelbase extension kit which has pulled back (£2.99 + £1.99 + £11.99) £16.97, which is getting on towards half of the initial £38 purchase cost.
