Cables LMR400 Pay attention the the length of the cable and to the connector type.
Batteries There are several types of batteries and size, you need to make sure that your radio support them or if you need to install an BMS
LifePO4 Batteries LefePO4 are best for envirements   with extreme negative/positive temperatures. For them you will need an BMS for charging.
Electrical Box (from Leroy)  
3D Printed STL Batteries Support   
Nylon Breathable Valve Pressure Balance It’s good to install one breathable valve in your box so huminity can get out.
Solar Panel When select a solar panel you should take in mind the way to connect them some radios support direct connection (with limitation on the watt’s and voltage) others you will need the BMS
BMS for LifePO4 Batteries

MITRA FPV Amphibious traked vehicle (5)

That is the current state of this project

Here we can see how i attach the parts to the cnc table , is a 20mm phenolic board. I start to drill 2,5mm holes  that belong to the parts then i drill 2mm holes in to the phenolic to screw the wood bolts, that way after cut the perimeter of parts they stay attached to de table.

All the parts machined till now…

Hi, finally the frame is completed . Some tweaks on the bearing outside support have to be made, to do it i made a plastic jig and machine one at a time… it works fine.
With the small parts i did almost the same but by option.. i rough cut them then i trim the outside on the jig this time three at a time

It is a long time since the local track as closed and because of that also my Rc activity.
In the mean time had been drawing a new FPV vehicle capable of running while rains and even capable of crossing puddles.
Early had experience a long runs on foot to get my previous vehicle when he overturned, with this design no need for that because run both sides.
The electronics are housed inside aluminium tubes and only the antennas are out of it.
The project not yet finished still remains draw the dome for the camera.
