box is done, tracks mounted.. all lines up perfect. i was measuring within .5mm accuracy. i figured any more and it would be an overkill. but i think i came to less than that at the end. and yes thats 3/8 alum plates. this width allows me to recess the screws properly.
still need to decide on the slant angle (you can see it drawn out roughly) and slot out the chain drive zones. more on those later.
also bought a tekin fxr pro to replace the chinese esc. it worked fine but for some reason it thinks anything over 80% is 100% rpm... so anyway, bought a new one. really not many options for brushed motors left out there it seems.
my new bearings for the turntable (abec5) and motors are due today.. assuming usps didnt forget to load them on the truck this morning. i may or may not make a reinforced turntable mount. Won't know until <-- these parts get here today and i get to measure it all with the pinions attached
