Fast Traxx drive setup, with sabertooth esc, 3s lipo. Got about 45g left which I will probably use to make a cosmetic cover. Built in a day.
It was originally going to be version 2 of Mini Tread, but it looks too much like my old feather weight Flexo to not go with that. _________________ Farnsworth - "I hate these nerds. Just because I'm stupider than them they think they're smarter than me."

Well if NSW was the first to do the beetle class in Aus, which I think we were, then it would be Mini Tread as the first thwack bot. It did well for itself, won the first tournament we had for them, and I think the next one after that as well. Only died fairly recently much to everyone's delight.
Yeah spin speed is pretty quick, the frame rate on the camera doesn't quite do it justice. The Fast Traxx were a nippy little toy back in the day. _________________ Farnsworth - "I hate these nerds. Just because I'm stupider than them they think they're smarter than me."

Right. 3 bots in total.
1 beetle
1 ant weight thwack
1 kitbot legal ant for shnitz and giggles
Everything's packed and ready for the long drive. Including the beetle barriers.
Also we wonder why Geoff can't finish a robot.
He can't even finish mowing his lawn LOL _________________ Farnsworth - "I hate these nerds. Just because I'm stupider than them they think they're smarter than me."
