Well, it did arrive (eventually).... peep this:













And with any luck the FLM towers will be here tomorrow or tuesday.

If you're wandering about the two black boxes- they house two 9v batteries wired in series to power the two 12v 40mm fans which are mounted above & below the esc. I couldnt find any other way of powering them, nor could I find any 5v 40mm fans so that will have to do- I will fab up a mount and attach them over the spare servo mounting slot. I also redid the wiring for the final time- everything cabled tied down onto the chassis and out of harms way. I used the original esc fan to cool the motor by attaching it to the 2 sheatsinks which came with the 30mm fans (broke one- go figure); the rx supplies the juice for that now. Finally, you will notice my lovely modified motor mount- I wanted a single motor mount so I removed it, traced around the gearbox, cut and filed it into shape, then stripped the anodising for good measure; I like it alot. Cheers.
