I haven't had a whole lot of time to get up to much lately, so I decided to do a 'quick and dirty' project just to keep things moving along.
I had a spare one of these knocking about from the abortive RSO project: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Light-shock- ... 0005.m1851 and discovered that its about the right size for an M29 Weasel.
Yes the wheels are wrong, but I don't care. And as I'm using George Bradford's drawings as the main reference, it ain't going to be all that accurate anyway
M29 Weasel (sort of)

Re: M29 Weasel (sort of)
I picked up one of these to drive it with:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-1-8Ax2-Du ... 2749.l2649
Not sure how good it will be, but it'll be a damn sight cheaper than a robot ESC like the Scorpion Mini, and doesn't need anywhere as much omph. Still waiting on the main body to finish printing in the meantime.

Quick test drive:
not sure if its rubbish motors, rubbish ESC or rubbish battery, but its not driving as well as I would like. Its also throwing a track on one side which needs some attention - but what do you expect for the price

Re: M29 Weasel (sort of)
Added a lick of paint and some flanges to the idler to try to stave off the track throwing problem
Next stop, gloss varnish and decals...
