Well I got up this Morning ready to go to Ardent with the F1 . . . but alas my back is playing up so looks like that's me laid up for a day or two. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

So with the boredom setting in I staggered to me work shop to think about something to keep me busy . .
BUT WHAT
Well after some thought and looking a round at me F1 and the carbon effect it does look good hmmm Very Happy Idea

Yep time to start on the Mega Dave . . . What's one of them you all ask . . Well its a supped up Mardave but to my Spec. So this is going to be called a

" Gazza Mega Dave "

Why call it that. . . Well its got a FLAT chassis at the back instead of the kick up along with the cobra battery holders and a New 1/12th Hitec servo with metal gears and ball raced out put hmmm and to top it off
the CARBON FIBRE EFFECT as per my F1 . . Wow sounds great OK on with the Build

First of we need a blank chassis plate to start so here goes

One blank chassis ready to be drilled to MY SPEC

Next a standard Mardave Chassis but with the Kick down flattened

Black tape covers the holes that I don't want as my spec will be different

I did this a few weeks ago at my local Garage as he has a pressing machine for doing bearings and a quick press and hey presto one flattened Chassis. . . Well time now to make a go of it

Well here is My MEGA DAVE with the holes ready for the rear pod and front end as per the standard chassis

And all I need to do now is set about where the other bits will go so after a placement of the radio gear etc I marked up the chassis and set about drilling the holes and countersinking them
