I'm doing 3 things at once... I have my scooter motors mounted in the A&A shells. I just got the speed controller. I could have it mobile by Saturday!
Also having a hell of a time with the styrene battery boxes. The foot shells aren't quite so bad. They're my first ever bout with styrene and the solvent glue... I'm moderately satisfied. Not like they wouldn't have needed bond anyway.
The wheel came with some kind of brake hub or whatever you'd call it. A few whacks on each of the four little pegs holding it on, and that problem was over. I about had a fit at first thinking I would have to dremel it off or return them.
Now I'm scrounging for batteries.
The foot shells... Not really sure how they're going to go on. The bolts you see have now been replaced by countersunk screws, but the top is still never going to let the 3-layer "door" go on the way it is.
I hate the battery boxes. I might have to go another route entirely... Maybe the pvc pipe method.
Don't kid yourself. This pair of pliers dropped into JUST the wrong area of an A&A frame took 20 minutes to get out. It weaseled its way in there the moment I let go.
Stupid, Stupid idea for a makeshift T-nut.
The real thing is in there now and I am quite happy with the way it looks.
I seem to see this view quite a lot lately.
