    Ah ok, I basically bought the wrong amp then, and need a 4 channel: https://www.parts-express.com/sure-...ital-audio-amplifier-board-sta508-(t--320-335

    I'm also on a gaming laptop, so do you have a recommendation for a USB sound card with the appropriate jacks?

    Hooked the Auras up to the home theatre and played the last fight scene in Ghost in the Shell and wow!! Might have to order more with that other amp! :D

    Flexible couplers came in from ebay.

    Shipped Feb 27, and arrived March 14th. Not too shabby actual transit time. Product looks good and I got 8 for a reasonable price.

    Any recommendations on where to get threaded rods for these?

    Received my motors in record time, shipped Monday from Hong Kong, and on my doorstep by Thursday!
    Very happy with the experience with Kenny @ dakemotor and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for motors.
    Now I really have to get off my butt and start building the frame.

    Not very much to report as I've been busy with spring cleaning and a new car purchase.
    I tried to buy some steel tubing a few weeks ago, but found out they only sold in 10ft lengths and the place that sells pre-cut to order is a lot more expensive.
    I was going to go with 4x1" and 1x1" and will have to come back with a larger vehicle.

    Only real progress was I soldered the wiring to the motors and pots.

    Just a small update, I've picked up the steel tubing over the weekend and bought a chop saw last night. Frame building imminent. :)
