What ratio are you using with the Banebots 36 mm? What speedo will you use?

I am using 25:1 36mm gearboxes. I will be using the IFI Victor 883s till they are needed for the heavyweight when I will swap them for a Robot Power Scorpion XL (the RS-545 motors draw a peak of 25A together).
The US dollar is looking better and better.

What happened to the Banebots controllers you or your brother had? And how have they been going?

I think I explained their story in the Prancing Queen thread. They weren't really up to the task of controlling the RS-545s at 12V and I wasn't overly impressed. I stopped using them when a wiring fault while trying to use center tapped batteries caused one to take in -12V and killed it. I reckon the Scorpion will be better value.

With one thing and another I wont be getting a new speedo yet but I was thinking of simply heatshrinking the whole board minus a few strategically located holes for wires. The swarf protected controller would them be cable-tied to suitably located bracket. I try not to rigidly mount electronics merely stop them from moving too far.

Im using the female stabiliser regulater from palmer pursuit, im thinking its the one your currently using. Im wondering about how yours goes with the bottle lying down, with my setup the regularor seems to freeze open consistently whenever my bottle isnt verticle. Do you have some sort of antisyphon thing in ur bottle or not?

heres an idea, with spare weight put some steel on for armour, no polycarb, get steel and weld it on dang it

if u can get armour strong itll be a formidable force even against spinners

What's the deal with short piece of vertical tube in front of the wheels? It looks like it will weaken that corner come spinner or rammer.

Well I gave Hellcat its first test drive today and all is good. The switch was a little tricky to start with and the ram doesn't like working under 100psi but thats ok.

To answer questions:
Dreakoth - I use all standard paintball bottles. I need to have the bottle vertical when screwing on the reg but can run in any position after that. Everything does end up with a nice coating of ice after three minutes but that is normal

andrew - Well I have all this steel sheet at home so I will see what happens.

BH Mike - I would prefer not to have that but since I couldn't make the RHS go through the drive wheels I had to go over.
