The motors have a stall current of 1600 mah so 3 would be 4.8A?

So a 5 Amp controller should do the trick then?

I've already checked the weight with the motors and wheels I plan on using it is 11 grams for each 'unit so 72 grams overall. the allowing 20 grams for the battery (generous!). Receiver and motor controller are still to be decided as I still need some advice. What would be the effect on a motor cont...

I heard the 12th but either one I should be going along to. Hopefully with a fully functioning ant.

I have decided to build one of those pushbots as well as assailant so I always have at least one ant working. Assailant has.... reliability issues. I had a thought that I won't be one of those boring 4 WD ones but a boring 6WD one! However I need your advice on speed controllers that could run 6 of ...

That was great!

I should have taken pictures of the slow deterioration of assailant ending with the flipper taped up and the receiver and battery hanging out the top!

Hoppefully next time I should have a robot that can make it to the end.

Didn't think It warranted a new thread. Would this do for an actuator?

Well my ant is ready... but I guess it needs a rethink after the event. It is somewhat disadvantaged in that it can't self right.

The servo stops working at the same time or moves very slowly. I have to do a bit more testing but I am thinking about a new receiver I could do with losing a few more grams.

I got the ant working so Have signed up, I have a few modifications and thigns to sort out before I post in the enw robot thread though!

If it's running on Spektrum type equipment, it shouldn't be effected by the components being close to the motors, but if its on 40mhz, it might be.

It is running on spektrum 2.4ghz.
