Apologies on the late reply. Had some minor account login issues.

I've received 80% of my order (slight mishap during shipping by the sounds of it). The initial look of the SEP V3 parts are amazing, however as they are resin printed, there was a few drain holes located on the bottom of some of the parts (VCSU for example). So I decided not to use them and to make my own!

One thing I must say is the detail of the CROWS is impressive for its size. Very happy with it.

I ended up breaking the antenna on the DUKE V3 system after priming. The super glue is not holding so that will have to be something I also have to make (I might try playing around with TPU for that antenna).

Here is the New VCSU. There is a floor jig that is to replace the standard bustle rack frame. this also lines up and set the VCSU inline with the ducting underneath.

Looks great!

Is the LPCROWS motorized?

It is not unfortunately. I would love to see one motorized with how small some of the surfaces are for control points. I've also notice the new metal turret drive does not have a clutch. where could I find one?

I swear the one I got for my leopard you can turn by hand with minimal force, I’ve got to get it out and see for sure.

The LPCROWS I got for my 1/8 is motorized, if I ever get it on there. I thought the one I got for my 1/16 was as well, but I haven’t looked at all that in a while. More projects than time.
