Been a bit busy over the last week but here's today's progress!
I have painted the handle and inner tray, Fitted the motor and started wiring it up!
Unfortunately I ordered AC powered illuminated switches so they won't actually light up when you turn it on, but that may be a future mod I will do on it!
I have soldered up the output side of the DC controller to the left switch and the drill is ready to have it's trigger attached (hence the 2 wires poking out the handle). You can see the Aker amp that I put in to test fit and the lack of sound board... it's going to sit aft of the aker. I am ordering some C cell battery holders from jaycar to put the drill's battery pack into as it won't fit in it's current state, these will sit on the bottom of the fwd section (under the drive shaft). So lots to go and the big guy is starting to get heavy with all that stuff in there!
That's all for now
