Problems
- Weapon was extremely unbalanced, couldn't spin up to full speed without major bad vibes
- Center of Gravity was too far forward, so there was little to no traction on the drive wheels
- Loose mounting of electronics (didn't cause any major issues with handling and little risk of wires being damaged, though)
Good aspects
- Looks Good (we think)
- Weapon Spins (extremely unbalanced though)
- Easy access and good protection of the wheels with HDPE side plates
- Good electronics isolation (wires kept away from moving parts using dividers
- Ability to easily hot swap weapons and weapon support plates (the part at the front with the nylon transfer bearings and the V cutout)
- Lots of space for electronics and wiring
Changes/Improvements
- More ground clearance
- Move Center of Gravity to center for better steering (New beefed up weapon moved CG really far forward, away from drive wheels)
- Better mounting of components
- Beef up chassis (thicker walls, more cross bracing, thicker side HDPE protection)
Notes:
My other ride is Paul's Tesla
