Cutting Excess Metal Off Left Motor Mount

Bill found another person to help cut away the marked excess metal off of our left motor mount using a plasma cutter. The metal could have also been cut using our cut off wheel (our third cut off wheel purchased from Harbor Freight).

As you can imagine, we cut away any excess metal because metal adds weight. We want Sparky as light as possible for better battery operation thus additional miles traveled per charge.

We are trying to utilize the excess metal for future endeavors. The left and right pieces may be used for motor torque mounts. The upper piece may be used as a cooling plate.
