dunno, i guess i'm used to building very light drive systems on the DBA's :lol:

it was put together using parts i still had lying around.

2 microdrive motors +/- 16 gr
1 Sozbots MX +/- 10
2 spektrum servo's +/- 10 gr
1 2cell 130 mah Atomic Lipo +/- 8 gr
1 reciever +/- 4 gr

the rest is Lego tracks and CF cut-offs of our Carbon Monocoqued race car :P

Sorry about the reflections- I decided to hide behind a sheet of polycarb while I filmed it.

Hoping to get the rest done tomorrow.

Thanks for the great comments.

I'm hoping to get Tempest ready for the AWS- All it really needs now is the wiring done and the top cover made.

Once I'm happy that it's working it will be stripped down and the chassis put into the mill to lose some weight.

I had plans to make a wheeled drum spinner and I almost finished it, however A-levels meant that I had to put ant on hold for a while. Hopefully I get time to finish these off. That one looks very nice, and its interesting that we are nod creating ants that look exactly like minature heavyweights.
