Was your battery low to start or did the bed flatten it?
Looks like tilt is working well!

Nice!

It's one of the WPL 500mAh 7.4 volt batteries, I have three of them and they all drop to 6 volts under load. I have my MT12 set up to tell me if the voltage drops below 6 volts. I think I should seriously consider a larger capacity 2S battery for this project. Though not too big because there's no room for a big battery.

If I have to I can redesign the electronics tray to accept a larger battery and still have room for the esc and receiver.

Grub screws and eclips... Somewhere in my house, theres about 30 or 40 of each all neatly stacked in a corner waiting for me to find them.

I know the feeling. I recently built a Tamaya 1:10th scale rc car with the Audi Quattro Touring body and I had to buy hardware from Amazon because I dropped enough of their tiny screws on the floor that I ran out.

E-clips are the worst. I'm so glad there weren't any e-clips involved in building my RC10SC7.
