CD's for the savage?

A little prototyping progress...

Cardboard TVPs with cut outs and batteries:


I need some sort of end stop on both sides of the dogbone. There must be a U profile with the right dimensions somewhere!


Servo can sit in its normal spot (more or less):


Battery placement in relation to the dogbone (vertically):


Ive got 1cm of 3mm thick alu on the bottom side of the TVP cut out at each end of the battery as it is. I wonder if its safe to go even lower? Damn I should have taken the 5mm TVPs!
If I could go lower it would help servo mounting... still for my friends inrunner project we need a different servo placement anyway. Bright ideas are welcome :)

Because this is the stuff we need to fit into the construction:

The fat outrunner:


9 LiPo cells (its not the packs we'll use but you get the idea):


Its slightly crowded at the backend where I have CD and 1717:


We'll most likely have to do a cut out in the "bulkhead plate" otherwise the angle between the drive cups will be extreme... more fun challenges :)
