Footlose

Finally received the infamous JAG Foot Drives! Been waiting one year, one month and 21 days on these bad boys, hopefully a record that won't be broken. They are very solid, pretty hefty and have a reputation for lasting quite a while with little issue.

Anyway, now I'll be able to get moving on getting R2 moving. I've been reading up on center casters again, just because the two I have don't fit the bracket too well, so I'll have to find different ones that I can put the skater wheels in, or something altogether different.

I guess its time to start looking into getting the speed controllers, batteries and remote control as well!

No Intelligent Life Down Here

Two parts in the last two days: yesterday the Periscope Lighting Kit arrived and today the Life From Scanner was in the mailbox. Two dome related parts in two days. Also, it looks like the Foot Drives will finally arrive soon! Been waiting over 13 months for those.

Artoo on the Side

Side Vents arrived today from Guy in Burbank, CA. These perfectly match the Pocket Vents he ran earlier this year. Painted portions of the Power Couplers this weekend. Still trying to figure out the best way to mask off the remaining ring around the center of the Couplers.
