Thanks a lot!Ant Ipodean wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2018 6:44 am The numbers you are referring to are not rpm, but standard motor sizes, all bigger than the N20 motors you will likely be using in a 150 ant. The rpm should not have much affect on the capacity of ESC needed.

Re: Hello! And some questions - And NEA Build Log of Sorts
Hi there. Thanks for providing the link to the ESCs you bought. I've been looking for an ESC recommendation after struggling to solder a DasMikro! (I'm very much a newbie to robot building). Do you (or anyone else) know if this ESC will work with 500rpm motors? The title on the site says "..Thi...

Re: How to wire an antweight
Thanks Peter.
Andrew, if there's anything you can do to make the photos visible to all, or advice you can give on what I can do at this end to see them, I'd be very grateful. It looks like a really helpful post. Thanks a lot.

Re: Help with first antweight
Hi and welcome. George has answered your questions but there are just a couple of things. First the motors are only 70 rpm so the robot will be extremely slow we normally look for 300 - 400 rpm at 6 V.

Hi, welcome to Antweights. The transmitter and motors certainly look good.

Problem is I have no electronics knowledge, zero mechanical knowledge, I’ve never soldered and basically have no clue. So......should be a cin...
