This will be a fairly slow moving project as I'm waiting for parts. Amazing how many things are backordered until May.
Did get the new CC Max 8S combo in today. For some reason I was expecting the ESC to be bigger. But it will fit nicely onto the existing spot on top of the electronics tray. Just need to print a bracket to hold it in place using the existing mounting holes. Motor is HUGE! Will need to figure out a cooling solution there.
The receiver box is TINY! Not much room to do anything in there at all. Probably going to need to print another box for additional electronics.
M2C stuff should be here tomorrow, and the bearings and stainless screws on Friday.
First step will be to replace the tower to tower bracing with carbon fiber. This will give me some nice mounting area for wire management, camera system, and what not. Starting to print a mockup template. My idea would be to take (2) 2.5mm sheets with spacers in between for the correct width.
