Trying to fill the gaps / where plastic leans in.

Hey josh, have you looked at the planetary gear motors on Lynxmotion or the gear motors on Polulu?

Not yet troy , I'm thinking I might be able to use the stock gearbox with some cutting but right now getting the outside fixed up. I've been filling each side of the top riser to get it flush.

Ok man. I'm sure you can figure a solution.

Here is a before pic so you can see the gap and how far the edge of the torso is from the riser.

One side its about 1/4 inch difference and other side about 1/8 off. The rear was the biggest difference of 1/2 inch. The filler is heavy so once I get the outside straight I will need to cut away the inside fiberglass and probably the Plexiglas then reapply a couple thin layers of fiberglass agian. I don't need to do that anytime soon but I can lighten it up 3 to 5 pounds by doing that later.

I did drill the torso mounting holes so this cannot move around while working on it.

8 hex bolts go from the outside through the deck and the top of the riser.

I weighted agian and my weight plus base , gearbox, riser , torso and vacuum backpack came out to 337

321 is weight after I was holding the head and neck w servos, that's 3.5 pounds. Batteries are 16 pounds , previous weight of base and torso was 18.5. So this is a basic weight of 38 pounds without the arms , motherboard, hard drive , video card , ezb and sensors. With a fully loaded goal of 60 pounds I have 22 pounds room for the electronics (except batt) FUN STUFF
