Lone-wolf Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 I really dont know what to do now, i need to find a laser cutter and get a plywood frame cut, this will give me enough real estate to put all the stuff on, also wood will dampen any Jello 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDB and ESC`s will mount on bottom plate in the gap, the last of the parts arrived today, the missing air of 2207s 1600kv motors 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
