This is for beginners entering antweights, how many robot (not just ant) builders had 750psi+ pneumatics or a spinning disc? Maddox's first ant would have been full pressure only during development the stupid 100psi rule was employed. And now his first antweight will have a spinning disc. Why does ...

Particularly at superant level why are we limiting to 100psi. I have no prob with 100psi working pressure but surely you can safely build an ant in the super class with 750psi (liquid co2) in it. I believe this for 2 reasons: 1. There are no spinners so the probability of the tank getting damaged i...

Oliver why not make up an ant (could be overweight) with old parts, I.e. Standard servo's, cheepo rx and betteries. Made out of say balsawood or something simular that can be thrown in against a spinner just to show the destruction that can be caused.

Most run them on 3-4lipo cells. SO they should be fine. Make sure though wight the 50's that you cover the gearbox, Most people use Heat shrink but the mounts from RMP are even better.

Gary I agree 100% with everything your saying but there is one thing. The guys in america have been using copals for years and they have been run on 4li-po cells with no major problems. The only thing I woould say is "Dont Use the Copal 30". The gears strip the whole time according to the ...
