Real sideplates will probably be 1/8" 6061 alu backed with 3/8" UHMW, the prototype will just be 1/2" plywood.

The battery is supported by air in the assembly because I forgot to put in the battery holder into the assembly. It is just an aluminum sheet with 4 bent tabs that are attached to the inside faces of the 8020 bridging the space between them under the electronics board. The tabs are to lower the aluminum sheet so the battery sits lower.

6" AM KOP wheels for now

Thanks for the compliment :-D
