So apparently there's heaps of good places out there Smile

Angus you should include a list of them in your servo hack tute.


Here's a drive test of my new beetle Mini Flexo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eZVyWZdsE0

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.

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.

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 Razz
