The machine looks great itself but I'll suggest that you invest a bit more on motors, i.e. you might want to consider brushless and increase your gear reduction ratio. If I were you, I will go for 150A ESC, 6S Liop, low KV motors...it woudl be a waste if you don't go for the last mile on such fine machine. The other small suggestion, engine sound is not speed dependent...it stays flat. you can consider to upgrade your sound module in the future. Awesome work!

Best regards,

Thank you for sharing this with us!

Thanks for looking Kevin,
The gearing on the motors are still under test, new gears are on the way to me now and will provide even more torque than now. At the moment it will push about 30-40kg on concrete so with the change of gears it will be better than that. If I need more pushing power than that I would stop drinking beer for a week( maybe not: ) The speed controller is a SMX from Servonaut, can you please let me know of another to upgrade to as this is the only type I know of.
