A few questions about this box:

Is the back panel where the g540 mounts removable?

What size fan will mount to the back? (I would assume that the keling 80mm fan would work)

I am completely ready to buy the G540 now, considering the sale keling is having, but my only reservation is the release of the GM540. I don't want to be kicking my self because I didn't wait...

Any idea when the GM540 will be avaiable? I am getting started on building my router but probably won't be ready for a controller for a few months. Will I be able to get the new controller by then?

Your aligning procedure sound like what I was thinking but I didn't know if it would work, its good to have conformation. I've welded a few dune buggy frames together so I'm to worried about it.

I just posted my new vacuum forming machine here http://www.instructables.com/id/ELL304YY30EZ7BEV6C/
Its entered is a competition, and I could win a laser cutter!

When I did it I was only running one motor with the sample code. I had a bunch of the tamiya size motors, the ones that go in the planetary gearbox, one of them ran fine every time, but the others...

I have that same controller and a low-voltage dual serial motor controller form pololu as well. Have not used them in a bot yet have a project in the works. I've had some problems with the...

Nice compact setup, I like it. What motor controller are you using?
