Hi,
Nice to see your progress, my one nearly ready for testing, motors arrived yesterday.
When its assembled will post my pics.
Did you mount all your motors front and back with angle ally?.
Be interested to see how this mounting holds up. Ian used straps, your idea seems easier.
I havnt got to the stage of mounting motors. Are you running it off batteries or a Power supply?.
Keep us posted

Hi,
All motors are mounted with angle ally. The unit is running with power supply.

Thanks for the update. What did you use for the P/supply?. Linear or switch mode and what current/voltage.?

Sorry for the wrong information. I just confirmed the power source. We are using 2 x 28Ah batteries and charger.
