Try this http://www.strikalite.co.uk/prodcat_typ ... er_Pack/5/ althought you will also have to buy a battery lead, perhaps http://www.sussex-model-centre.co.uk/Ra ... s-1321.htm

I have used these batteries now and they're fine.

Techno bots do a great lipo charger. part 1072-001



Microproceesor controlled 1-4 cell LiPo charger

Features:

* Constant current / constant voltage charger method
* Automatic charge current setting - 3.0A max
* Reverse polarity protection on both input & output
* 12V nominal input

Just need a power supply, i currently use a computer PSU which gives about 17A at 12V. But maplin do a 1A supply which is easier to use. Both are about ?10

Well from your other post I'm guessing you'll need a switch for the system and a tank. You can't buy a switch new anymore, but there's one going for ?1 on ebay!

Ebay Switch

And for the tank, I find these work fine.

Breath Sprays

They are 11ml, so you can't get loads of air in them, but they'll fit in an ant no problem. You'll get about 6 flips from one of these by fillling it with the standard lego pump (about 40psi apparently). If you pump it to 100psi, you should get a good deal more. You can connect them up too to get more flips.

Hi there,

Overlander have stopped stocking 145mAh batteries (9 gram). The only UK supplier seems to be http://www.aurorra.co.uk/shop/2/index.htm but they are massively expensive at ?15.81 including postage and VAT.

I'm buying three from http://www.robotmarketplace.com/marketp ... ly-ko.html and they should be ?29.11 including postage.

Does anyone know a good place to get polycarb offcuts?

I'm after something I can put a thread in so 8mm+ Need bits about 6" square.

Technobots do bits about 600*500mm but they are a bit expensive when I can hopefully get offcuts cheaper.
