Good aspects

  • was underweight
  • armor was effective
  • used hella electrical tape to fix switch (was functional at motorama)


Changes/Improvements

  • fix top and bottom plate to accommodate new side plates
  • make a proper cutout for switch
  • new drive motor
  • fix holes in motor mount, side plates, (front plate if possible?)
  • push pin in drive motors further
