https://youtu.be/BNpUwIuRuSI I've been fiddling around with the transmitter and I turned ailerion channel down a bit for easier steering and changed the rudder returning limit to -50 which is enough power to retract the arm and to self right, but means the arm is coming back to rest a lot slower tha...

Yay, Manticore is finished....errr....again lol. I tested the old one basically to breaking point. The old 1mm thick chassis just wasn't good enough and the weapon was twisting it quite dramatically. And I even managed to ruin another weapon motor, sigh. But so it goes and as a result the new versio...

1mm thick is really easy to bend and cut. 1.5mm is surprisingly tough to bend in comparison IMO but even 1.5 can be done without heating just with a clamp and a board edge or similar. Ooh and maybe you would have done this anyway but just in case, perhaps learn from my dumb mistakes - if you have an...

He thought it was great fun and I got to thoroughly test my bot in a kinda combat situation lol. The hammer works ok, ...

Obligatory team picture! Ready for June and the AWS!

The new motor got delivered!

Basically just on advice from here and copying from other build diaries. I won't comment on the rest of the design as you're alr...

I have the devo 6e radio. I think.. yeah probably the responsiveness for drive controls can be tinkered with. I'll look into that. To be honest I'm still learning how to use it. Good idea, cheers. @ Mark- The armour is polycarbonate I just spray paint it all black because I prefer the look to transp...
