Thanks! Leads me to believe I was designing things a bit too small

Re: T_Y's Build Log
I think given the curved shape of the rollers, casting silicone tyres onto them might be a bit tricky, I'd have to think about it and see what could be done. I was thinking of some sort of tape or paint-able latex which may do the trick. Any attempt to add tyres to the rollers is going to need a mo...

How Big is your Beetle?
Research purposes !
Having only seen under a handful of Beetles in the flesh - it would be great to judge if a design is going to come in hugely under or over sized!

Really awesome! 1 more channel for brushed motors is a real godsend for flippers and axes.

Re: Little help requested with a new bot - receiver, material sourcing etc. thanks.
Ahh yea that one! PWM. I'm mixing acronyms. Thanks for the clarity George! :) Joe, in case you already bought it - dont fret, the RX i linked is still good for you - it is actually PWM (only I dont know my PWMs from my PPMs :P ) (NB: Because I'm a bit crazy, I actually built my own ESCs which do use...

Re: Little help requested with a new bot - receiver, material sourcing etc. thanks.
What are PPM and SBUS? Connector types? Also, it's all weight-sensitive! SBUS and PPM are different ways the RX outputs signal for use by other components. Main difference is with SBUS you will get 3 wires that output 4 channels all together. Usually used for plugging into a flight control board on...

3. Receiver. Ok this depends a lot on your transmitter. You say you have the Taranis X9D - which is the exact one i am using also (exclusive club! high five!) A lot of people in antweights use DSM2 receivers (no technical reason, just what has become the norm) so you will need to install a OrangeRX ...

Re: Eddie J - DisinfectANT , Cilit BANG, Flash POWERspray
So you overmoulded the tyre on the wheel? Nice. Looks good with the "wrap around gearbox" style too. Nice helical tread pattern. :D The dream is that spinners will just bounce off the rubbery tyres :? :lol: .. i can dream.. Still need to lose 5g of weight on the bot. I had to reduce the d...

Re: Team Shakey Build Diary
I can only dream to be that efficient and speedy making new bots
That's just terrifying how fast it gets through plastic! Free bot ventilation service
Going to be great to see it compete! (Y)
