Rig's looking great Aaron. How much do you think you've spent on it now? I'm trying to gauge a budget for my rover build |

Oh wow that's pretty good I was guessing about 25-30k, with the price of the vehicle. By the time its fully locked my rover will be about 13-15k, including the price of the vehicle |
