Change the title of the thread to "Offset - Team Vertex - QLD
EDIT: You actually did fit all that stuff under it 10 points for insanity... _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

You forgot the TeamVertex - QLD piece in the title
I've assembled those 3600's into 2 x 6v (1 x 5 cell configuration) packs, just need soldered up, which I'll have done before dropping them off to you charged
EDIT @ 1:34AM: I've finished that battery pack now... Just needs cokebottle shrink wrapped _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/

SchmackHed & Offset comparison, Offset being much lower...
Another shot of the pair. Offset should be able to do a nice FBS in emergencies
The underneither. Probably the only place you could even consider as a "soft spot"
Internal shot, pair of HTI motors on DSE 18v gearboxes... Should have some push and speed. 3600 NiCD pack and IBC fit in as well...
Internals close up
Battery pack after hair dryer shrinking, it was later cooked over a single bar heater to make it shrink further and tighter...
I think the baggage handlers are going to have a hard time wrecking them. Don’t look like they will take up a lot of room in your suite case either.

thanks i gave it a test run today on a drill pack with the 2 chanel radio it seeems to handle pretty good a bit slower than i had hoped but that might just be the drill pack saging running the two HTI's

I recieved my spectrum today .I went over to Aarons tonight and he charged up the batery for me .I came home and gave it a trial run it works exelent i just have to work out the rates etc to get it a little more fine tuned .Radio reception is exelant with no glitches even with the reciever buried under 3mm steel and the transmiter right inside a 5mm thick piece of steel box section 15 mtres away on low power with the range test button i had no glitching at all.It drives a bit wierd inverted but stays on its wheels .
I just need to add some funky lights or something on the shell for power indication and its ready to rumble ( I will have to get Aaron to find me a 6mm drill bit that will tackle that steel as my ordinary ones just blunten but wont drill it ) so i can put leds in the holes.
