Did you have to modify just the tibias?
Did all the screw holes line up?
I like it a lot!

Hi
Yes I had to modify the tibias to get the AX-12 to fit and drill some holes.

Um, I thought that you only needed to drill some additional holes...

Thanks for the photo! :)

Coincidentally, I have also been trying to fit my AX12's into the Phoenix body. I have a slightly different setup to the one in the photo but largely similar.

I found that I only needed to drill a few extra holes into each Tibia in order to fit in the AX12's. I have also managed to fit a CM5 into the thorax - although the CM5 did need to milled down a few millimetres in order to fit.

Mechanics are now complete (the easy bit). Next step now is to get it moving (the difficult bit).
