persuaded my dad to let me use his handheld drill and drill bits modded cylinder and switch today and is working well. also modded my fill valve aswell so i can use the 4mm tubing with it.

Good stuff, I look forward to seeing it.

A quick update about anticide, 110 bolts used to hold the custom air tanks together and a ton of epoxy. I am a little concerned that they may go bang when pumped up.

The armour base and flipper arm still need cutting out but I still hope to have it done for RCFC3. Pics later in the week.

i'll do the switch mod with the aluminium tomorrow and hopefully get the tank sorted. won't have it ready for rfrc3 but i'll definetly have it done for aws will have mgm2 and electrik eel at rfrc3 though.

going to redesign with larger air tank and gear motors for aws

by the way does anyone know any good wheels that i can use with the motors?

[philippos]

the wheels from poloulu (spelling) fits right on the gearmotor shaft so theyre always great! you can find various kinds here: http://www.pololu.com/catalog/category/89
