I will probably reduce the size of the tank closer to the plan size. I got the box body temperarilly built to get my sizes in my mind. I can then unscrew it and cut it on the tablesaw when I get my final dimensions. Im waiting on batteries at the moment before I do my final cuts. My biggest problem is how to get my motor output to the drive axles. My motors are already reduce geared so I am thinking that all I have to do is a 1:1 gear link from my motors to the drive shaft. I didnt like the outside gear arrangement on the plans and am trying to get the gears inside the haul.
