Chuck is still a prototype and I don't have the steel for the beater yet. Slash could make it if I don't have to spend too much time fixing Jolt. I might be able to use the new electronics from Chuck in Slash and um,
slash
it's weight so I can fit some armour . _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Cool!
I'm just trying to sort mine out now, problem is it keeps turning too heavy or too weak... hmm Regardless it will be awsome once made _________________ ( •_•)

Mini tread as some sort of thwack bot will definitely be there. Ready to take on all comers to defend the title of beetlewight champion of Australia.

I would REALLY like to get this going this year... I know welch has all those beetle parts and Nick has a few so no more robowars related excuses! They seriously take just a couple of hours to throw together (unless you make them all custom like nick's hehe) and are great fun... Heck, i'll even through in a 60A brushless esc as a prize! _________________ ( •_•)

Cheers for that Ajax. It was also considered beetleweights in NSW would be allowed flame weapons, but I think that was only because Jeff J wanted to have a flamethrower beetle at the time! _________________ ( •_•)
