so 3 bodies down... obviously needs tidying up and wheel hole/weapon holes cut. but these are the basic bodies. still waiting for them to fully cure before i start making holes weighed along with a chassis and an extra 280mah nano tech and come in 1g under weight so weight wont be an issue hopefully...

on a second note, i would test a few pieces before using your main part as going too thin can make it brittle and would snap before it bends with a big impact, although this is usually quite hard to do its not impossible. i have hammered some down to half original thickness and been fine where as ot...

yes its a straight bridge from signal pin to - with aluminium, you can work harden it. if you have a strong flat surface and a decent hammer, you can hammer it thinner that it already is which in turn strengthens it. you can get 6061 decently hard with this method so even if its not 7075, it will be...

so... i think its time for an update... after aws, i was impressed with how well my carbon fibre bot juggernaut (piloted by the mrs) held up against a vertical, horizontal and a drum spinner taking mainly superficial damage (the only actual damage was from a hastily sealed join from where i extended...

a bit of bent paperclip also works... if you can find one that fits the holes snugly, its as good as any plug plus allows for handsfree operation as you can "plug" it in and leave it there until finished... you may even find a paper clip thats correct guage and perfectly sized to be able t...

i wouldnt assume that about the wires, i purchased a bldc and esc kit and on mine, i assumed it was like that. could not get it to work until i hooked the right esc wire to centre bldc wire... very odd i thought, but it could be the same with yours... my newer smaller esc and bldc i had to guess str...

are tiny cannons allowed? and can i have nano bots swing from the masts armed to the teeth and board my opponent's vessel?

there are no rules at sea...

i had an rc car that used the Ballance lead to power it... so i used the same idea on a rock crawler i built... never had any issues with it

something like this might help you https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THREADED-INSERTS-FOR-PLASTIC-ALLOY-AND-WOOD-SELF-TAPPING-INSERT-NUTS-BRASS-/362470558325?varId=631640702671&txnId=998235571023 just drill a hole then use soldering iron to sink it into the polycarb... hole is just to stop excess melte...

i would have cut either the top or bottom polycarb with tabs that would be bent up (or down) that i could then cut to size and make space for the wheels to fit... cut it like a net with enough extra to fill the gap... but if you decide to do this, bend first and cut to shape after as trying to bend ...
