uhh at the moment it's made to manually fold away and back out, I want to figure out later if I have time on how to make it do it automatically, if I figure that out, I might use the same concept as the Motorized winch for the trucks, cept instead it'd be for the top.... i have no experience with any of that though, thats why its manual fold.

Lol yea trust me, i've been debating that one.... The chasis's is gonna be a lil complicated. I'd fabricate my own but idk where to get the materials for it. I'd just do a sheet of aluminum or somehting under the body instead of the chasis pan. something to give me space to put the batteries etc.

my issue wasn't driving it Kitt, it was power supply which i'm still trying to get... I think I have it figured out though, using the two AA lith-ion cells in parallel should be safe for the Z board. 3.7V with crapload of mAh
