20 minutes of assembling the chassis maybe'

research , troubleshooting , and all the other stuff is probably not included

After figuring out all the problems then building the complete chassis took 20 mins.

If its R/C then I can believe that it took 20 minutes to assemble together the ready made parts and previously planned chassis. ( its just servos to receiver to battery )

Or maybe cooldog is just super awesome and has a team of robots aiding him. lol

hey cooldog may I ask which receiver / transmitter you used?

you have like 100+ posts made, many with questions - I call that research :P

I tend to spend weeks/months in design and research, and under 24 hours building start to finish. If I didn't make so many dumb mistakes (darn screw holes!), I'd say less than 15 hours . . .
