Looks pretty good. Hope i have my bot completed before next event and we can grudge match the two newcomers.

Im guessing because of ur shotty TEU101-bk speed controller ur only using johnson 540's as motors? And what radio/reciever are you using, because as far as i know most RC transmitters wont work due to interferance.

Thanks, Chris

yeah, i cant fit in any other motor without using my good 10td motor (my precious) which i dont have a controller 4 coz the last one caught on fire! Shocked
im plannin on upgrading 2 drill drives sometime

i didnt buy any new radio systems so i was reusing my sanwa 2ch AM 27.255Mhz and my futaba 2ch FM 29.905Mhz

i am currently on the hunt for a better radio and i have narrowed myself down 2 either a hobbycity 2.4Ghz radio or one spokie-tech is offering 2 me

which is ur bot and have you got any pics?

Yeah i once had a Novak Super Rooster with 7t motor in my Traxxas Bandit. But a full sized 4WD is much stronger then my plastic chassis ever was... Crying or Very sad

My robots name is currently Rambo-T, early photos thats with the wood as the base for measurements, but now its got checker plate for both sides and 4motors in total.

For radios, im planning on getting a HobbyCity one, but thats purely because neither my brother nor me have any money, and its cheap and works Very Happy

Another test vid. Bent my shaft which is a pain in the @**, but atleast it lifted up 13kg Razz
I got a good hit on a herd drive sending it into my garage, flattening a part of the wall Twisted Evil
