Here's the result. 4 hrs has passed since I put the jb weld down. Peeled the tape.




Now it's time for the bottom side and while it's curing I'm on to the cheetah and mounting the motor in it....

Here's the desired effect (well for me!)

Jb weld with powdered graphite added in it

hey Travis is there any benefit to using the graphite powder instead of the pigment ?

Only advantage I can think of is I didn't have to order it, they have it at the auto parts store.

Got a good bit done tonight. Got the esc mount done, I made some wire and cooling line holders to hide the wires and cooling lines, strut and rudder assy mounted, bulkhead fitting for steering, servo mount made and epoxy is drying. I'm getting close. It'll be done by next weekend I speculate.

Esc mount. Well really all you see is the top cover. There is a plate that i milled two slot in under it. The slots are for a velcro battery strap to hold the esc down. Top plate is for looks as i dont like the look of the esc. I'm not sure yet but I'm thinking about putting a digital voltmeter and a digital temp Gauge flush mounted in this plate. I already ordered the gauges, but I have to see what they look like.

So how many bends you gona make to get that thing to the rudder

Probably two

Probably two

looks to me like you may have a step in it on the inside but no 90deg. bends. that'll work just fine, most of mine are like that..

Combining some ideas from joel and keith, this is basically all your gonna see. It's kinda plain tho so I may add like a disco ball or some flashing lights or something. I kid I kid. Lol

Slotting some battery trays. I started buying my trays already cut out and just mill some slots for two straps of velcro around each battery. I prefer that over one long piece.

Yes that's 5 at one time I'm cutting.

Got them done. Getting ready to epoxy them in (only 2 haha)
