Hardend steel gear pins Supported by Axial Brass Bushings. So new that it has not even been released yet. That thing is not going to be even close to chea...

I remember Pete saying that he cant get though 3mm polycarb. I would copy pete some what. Have a base made of wood. The ...

Cheers dave I have been on robot birds but nothing in there collection is anything close to what I need. I usually stick to around the 100 mah mark as an ant weight fight rarely goes over 3 minutes.

speed hacking most servos is fine and will usually give enough torque. Usually I remove two gears for a speed mod making roughly a servo with 4 reductions, 4x quicker but 4 x less torque. This is fine as a 2kg servo will be reduced to 500 grams. More then enough to move your self with another robot....
