      As I think I mentioned, I wanted to design a miter box to cut tubes. It has default 70MM, and has 18MM and 60MM inserts that screw in to threaded inserts. still need to mark cut line on tubes and rotate tube as I cut them. boxes screw to a level surface or 2x4, allows for varying lengths of tubes and has a solid insert that goes in first then whatever size insert to give tube a "stop" to prevent it from moving to the left, since I cut right handed. When cutting, will not use the grooves on the box, will use the outside edge of the box.

              Update, ESC is working, had not stripped power in wires long enough to power block... now, all electronics working, all fits nicely inside the 70MM tube. Will have RX mounted at bow end, only had to run one positive and one negative wire from bow to stern. Will work on power supply wire lengths next
