MSE-6 Build notes

[Roger Booth]

Time for a catch up (Too many other jobs to do and not enough build time!)

Lower shell has now been finished and painted black, just needs to be kitted out with the two suspension units and RC gear, will post pictures of this soon.
I did drive it around prior to painting and it is way too fast with it's current motor setup!
I have bought a 3:1 planetary gearbox for the motor, more on this soon but it does cut the speed down and makes the chassis easier to handle and more controllable, more on this soon.

The top shell has now been primed ready for paint, not much to say about this really except I cut a series of holes in the sides for the speakers, these will be hidden under the side circuit boards.

Now with sound holes

   
Primed and ready for paint

One of the side circuits is ready and painted, ran out of IC's for the other side, waiting for another load to come from China.

   
I've added a few extras to make it a little bit different to the original.
