I finally received a second working relay and did the first pass provisional wiring. Everything is working as expected at the physical layer so I am going to put the next round of work into the software. Once that is updated I plan on doing a miniaturization pass before wiring up the front.

I am unsure of how involved or high end the result of the shrinking operation will be. I am definitely keeping open the option of lifting the truck body considerably in order to get the final result to fit.

I do not anticipate actually driving this model. Mostly I want a desktop test bench for software, but as I work towards a fully working version I want to maintain hardware parity. This way I have one failure platform and as little rogue wiring to deal with as possible.
