Some of us aren't "down with discord", I am only here because I have no other choice, will take a punt I am not alone with that either, I will of course try to refrain from upsetting the hardcore discord experts, no sarcasm intended or meant.

Wwalmis 👋You can find the motor kit prices and other info in the #❓faq channel.

Does discord allow making the welcome page direct people to the faq first rather than general? Or a custom message saying ‘please check out the faq then come chat in general’ or something along those lines?

SSwiftVengeance I think those would be designed with anti cogging

Bard_the_Bowman•1/1/23, 11:11 PM

That’s a very good idea. That’s a beautiful skewed armature there

Bard_the_Bowman•1/1/23, 11:11 PM

I may look into that for my stick for potential future upgrades

Oh please. You're not fooling anyone. I'm also here for 1 reason, to get a Rhino base. I'm no discord expert. But you were smart enough to figure out how to be here. Yet you cant take 5 minutes once you're here to look around before spewing already answered questions into general chat. I just call it like I see it buddy.

Donik•1/2/23, 1:59 AM

There is from what I've experienced on other servers but I haven't the slightest idea how to set it up. I think it might have been Combat Box that makes you check a "yes role" before they grant you access to all other channels (stating you read rules, etc)

It wouldn't be a bad idea tbh.

Bad attitude fella, I don't believe I have "spewed" anything , if a couple of questions leaves you so butt hurt maybe you should take a break from the internet ??

Magpie•1/2/23, 3:07 AM

The beauty of discord is you can ask dumb questions. People aren't obligated to respond.

Cheers. Enjoy your Rhino base when you get it.

Not going to annoy the rest of the server with this from here on out.

Gonna be a long wait

gitbse•1/2/23, 11:20 PM

Yea. I'm around #200, but I'm not worried. Walmis said after the new year some of the bottlenecks should start to clear.

gitbse•1/2/23, 11:21 PM

Should be totally worth it.

Donik•1/2/23, 11:22 PM

No clue what # I am. Agree, will be worth the wait and cost.

Ahhh good bot. I got new info. I guess I'm #0272 & there's 242 Rhinos to go

That's super exciting! How do you plan to mount it?

Harq•1/5/23, 12:18 AM

Here's my simpit design as of this moment. The Rhino will screw into 2 2"x6" mounting rails

Harq•1/5/23, 12:19 AM

I bought a volvo xc60 passenger seat off ebay for the seat. It's got all the motors and everything still

Donik•1/5/23, 12:21 AM

Heck yeah. Do you have the pit built yet or are you waiting for the rhino and seat?

Harq•1/5/23, 12:21 AM

wellllllll

Harq•1/5/23, 12:22 AM

I've had the seat for months now but haven't been in a hurry to build the pit for .... reasons

Harq•1/5/23, 12:22 AM

(read: laziness)

Harq•1/5/23, 12:22 AM

I've got all the panels done, but I need to cut the rails yet

Harq•1/5/23, 12:22 AM

shouldn't take too long really

PhantomOP•1/5/23, 12:25 AM

@walmis I've read the FAQ but still not sure, when it comes to being my turn in line can I customise some aspects at all (with additional funds of course), for me one area of concern is the exposed belts and gears, due to placement in my pit and likelihood of pet hair / dust getting into the mechanism's , I would wish those to be covered, I could make something myself but .....well ya know, in for a penny in for a pound and all that

, unless there is a reason why they are exposed in the first place maybe ?

Also you state a few motor variations, is there only the one option on the pre made Rhino , the larger optional motors only available for the kits ? sorry to anyone in advance if this post upsets them.

mechsicko•1/5/23, 5:47 AM

Correct, the big motors are only available as kits, the smaller motors are available both ways. I'm in the process of making kits to accompany walmis's kits so people can complete their own bases with basic skills. Here's some screenshots/vid to give an idea of the form factor. It's the smaller motors but the bigger ones will be the same thing just bigger. https://discordapp.com/channels/965234441511383080/972180323787997255/1045828088967204915
