Going to get weight when finished , but new arms and chassis bits are lighter than when I first built it with alloy arms and chassis.

And it is wider with loads more power , so we will see.

I will be  using it sparingly , and cleaning it after use like I do with all my cars , best way to spot faults before they become problems.

Did some work on the carbon roll cage : formed the main rails with 8mm alloy bar sections bonded in at joints.

Made up the roof and wing mounts and all the alloy bits.

Rear section will be removable on alloy pins for access , made up front angled mounts on the mill , glued cage joiners in with epoxy and drilled and tapped through the lot for hold down bolts. next up is slotting the frames on the mill for mounting brackets for roof, wing and windows. Mocked it up on the car to get an idea of angles and slot locations.
