It's flea time :D
So, my third bot, The Not So Grim Reaper, is now confirmed as a flea! Now, I need help. Will Rory's kits work or are they too heavy?

Re: It's flea time :D
both of my fleaweights run Rory's standard nanotwo kits. using the same kind of battery you use in RDR and Crash I should think you'd get it in the cube no problem. the electronics just need to be a bit more cramped together rather than spaced out like they can be in an antweight. I think Rory does a fleaweight version which is the same thing only the geared motors have shortened output shafts which saves a bit of room width ways.

Re: It's flea time :D
Actually, as someone who uses those batteries, I can safely say that you really DON'T want them for a flea! They are too heavy and are huge; whenever I have tried to build a flea, it has come out too large and heavy due to the battery. LiPos look to be the better choice in this situation. In fact, I have weight and size issues with them in the ant class! Go for a small LiPo and I reckon that will be fine. As for Rory's kits, I cannot really comment as I have never used one myself. However, they do look fantastic to me.
Re: It's flea time :D
a 180mah 2 cell lipo should be plenty small enough although i just about get away with 250 mah. just depends on your design and how much space/weight it allows.
