Rich Rebuild's Cyberquad Starts To Get A Proper Body

• https://insideevs.com, Gustavo Henrique Ruffo

We are now in our fourth text about Rich Rebuilds' Cyberquad tribute. While the first one was dedicated to buying the basis for the project – the Yamaha Raptor 700R quad – the following ones talked about how hard it was to remove the old engine and get the Zero motor and battery pack on that frame. It is now time to see the new Cyberquad receive its body panels, which required a lot of planning, origami skills, and good math and geometry knowledge.

For that task, Rich Benoit asked the help of Steven Salowsky. He takes care of the management team for the channel and always lets us know when new videos are around. This time, he got the chance to participate and show how he helped the Cyberquad get a body.

There was very little to work with apart from pictures and videos. The thing that provided the most help was curiously the Yamaha Raptor 700R quad, which was also the base for Tesla's Cyberquad.

What are its body panels made of? Considering the Cyberquad already had a frame, we doubt it used stainless steel like the Cybertruck. The electric quad probably had plastic or aluminum components to be as light as possible.
