Look what I get to press the "send it to me" button on tomorrow!!I am so freaking psyched!!
The work area is 12"x24"x4" so it will handle any of the r/c size work I can do on it.Cuts @ 90 IPM (in. per minute) and comes as a complete 3 axis turnkey set-up with a touch sensitive CMM probe--insert evil scientist laugh here---
Cant wait to start programming it!!Then--another evil scientist laugh- the cnc lathe attachment and 4th axis turntable
I can forsee many custom peices coming off this machine in the near future!!

Did some serious testing last night, buggy drives fast, the driver, not so much. I'd say the car is dialed, when I don't crash, I was pulling a couple real fast people. Unfortunatly I couldn't see any lap times

We are running no chassis protector on any of our stuff. Mainly to see wear rates etc. But if you wanted some protection they do make a self adhesive film that you just stick on, and peel off when you want to put a new one on.

in the first picture i can just run a link from the steering servo to an L shaped thing thats connected to the steering. and with the battery to the left a little bit thats good because some of the motors weight is on the right side so it willl even out the weight on both sides

I was actually thinking about doing an awesome express body when I did the planet express shell. Heres "the Slurminator' as my truck was called for our outdoor season this year
