Dragon Repairs/rebuild

[Kris Flynn]

After a few too many crashes at over 115km/h (70mph) my M11 SAW Dragon decided it needed a rebuild.

Took me a couple of weeks, but it is back, stronger than before (I hope!)

Had some VERY promising results yesterday mornign test session with Eagletree GPS readings climbing to 135kph (84mph)...every couple of MPH at these speeds means setup changes to keep it stable.  the true test will be 82mph for 100m (1/16 mile) through SAW traps in a couple of months!

I hate the servo location under the speedy, as when a servo horn break it takes a bit of time to replace (as happened yesterday).  But still better than servo gears breaking.
