After the vacuum failure on the FG the other day I realized I was stuck because I was out of bagging film. I did a dry layup in the Roarockit vacuum bag which couldn’t bend enough to pull the mat tight in the cutout and I would’ve wound up with the same result again. So while I waited for supplies from Fiberglast.com I got the upper veneer prepped. I soaked the veneer in some warm water in the bath tub to soften it and into the Roarockit bag it went with the board. I left it wet for the first 4 hours and then I added a bath towel inside the bag behind the new veneer to soak up the moisture and dry the veneer out while its being pulled to shape in the vacuum bag. If you wet a veneer and just let it dry, it will substantially warp. This way of pre-forming it and drying it out is the best way I’ve found to meet these complex contours during the glue-up.
Also received some stainless m5 threaded EZLOK inserts which ill be installing. Once this is pre-formed ill fiberglass the bottom, then install the upper final veneer.
Drivetrain is all together now thanks to motors from @DerelictRobots shop. 6365 170KV maytechs.
Getting closer! The BMS that the USPS lost finally showed up. Thank you to @thisguyhere. Once I was able to check clearances Im ready to finish pouring the urethane. I didnt want it to be the same depth around the unity because I have other items like the remote receiver and BT for the BMS to create a spot for as well. To accomplish this, I 3D printed a part to attach to the heat sink (which made sure it was square) and I used some clay to fill the gaps around it. This will be the sport for the main negative and positive P groups. Tooth picks were just to gap the battery plug away equal distance
