Re: Another noob bot
Forgive me, forummers, it has been flippin ages since my last confession.. :P I'd like to say that I've built an amazing bot that's sure to win in every fight, but I can't say that because I haven't even made armour, or a card mockup, or a definitive drawing.. My lack of progress is mainly down to i...

Re: Newbie - DasMikro Burnout
If your Transmitter has mixing you can buy 2 10A esc off eBay for £10 and splice the wires together to share a battery. They are just very heavy for an antweight. I was thinking of doing that. Even though one of my DasMikros is working, I don't like the unpredicatability - I feel like it might expl...

Re: Newbie - DasMikro Burnout
it happened to me today, too. wired up properly, with no shorts (copied my other dasmikro). attached everything and powered up the circuit without turning on the tx. waited a bit.. all seemed fine. turned on the tx and wiggled the stick, and the motors moved.. then puff, pop, fire and i pulled the b...

Re: Things getting hot.
closest experience i have is fixing zx spectrums.. after the modulator bypass, the next job was always to replace the voltage regulator, as the old ones were incredibly inefficient. if you remember the 128k 'toastrack', that whole 6 inch heatsink was for the voltage regulator, dropping 9v to 5v! tha...

Re: Yet another new guy!
well, I'm a noob with a different servo, different esc, and a different tx/rc. plus i don't know why it moves, so I'm unlikely to shed any light.. :P my servo moves twice; once on powering up, to a random anticlockwise position, then again when the tx is turned on, to a set position. it's always the...
