RobotWars101

i'll just use thick plastic then and as for the wiring i'll get my dt teacher to help because he's built a few heavyweights for robot wars ( that werent too good but they drove which is good enough for me )

ok thanks
it will probably take me a while to build though because i'll only be able to work on it for 3 hours a week because i need to use my schools dt workshop to do the wiring and I need to find someone that can do welding to build the chassis and shell

If your trying to do it slightly cheaper than having 4 speed controllers you could almost definitely get away with just 2 electronize 30a's for 4 motors and save yourself 100 quid. I assume you'll be running drill motors as most people do, especially on their first project? Also, you might have mor...

ok, i'll get my dt teacher to help with that

thanks, so should I have a seperate battery pack for each speed controler or wire them up to run from 1 power source ?

ok, so do they plug into the reciever just like a servo would then ?

so i'll need 2 for two wheel drive ?

would I only need one for 2 wheel drive then ?
and is this the one you mean ? http://www.electronize.co.uk/fr30_series.htm

I have a question also, what speed controller would work for 4 wheel drive and work with this reciever http://www.giantcod.co.uk/giantcod-24gh ... 03779.html ?

let me introduce myself, My name is Jack, I'm 15 years old and have recently decided to build a featherweight, I already have 2 antweights. I decided to start a thread so any other builders can tell me if I'm making any fatal mistakes.
