Re: TeamScrewUps poopoo bots

if those are 32mm pololu wheels then i think 13cm is too wide to fit diagonally, however it looks like you might get away with it fitting between opposite corners... with 32mm wheels you can be about 110mm wide and fit the cube diagonally, however with the same setup you can be about 145mm wide and ...

Re: Thinking about a one off competition.

i noticed the front raises when you flip, and your design fully encloses the wheels. do your wheels still touch the floor when the front is raised? im pretty sure the original had the tyres exposed and an angled rear so it would still have wheels on the ground when flipping as the front hinged flipp...

Re: Thinking about a one off competition.

you definitely want a soldering iron... a twist can easily shake itself lose and shorts and lipo's really dont mix well you can pick one up off ebay for about £6... if you are new to soldering in general practise on some random bits of wire and if you have any old broken electronics, open it up and ...

Re: ESC with built-in receiver - interesting?

iirc, the default setting within the esc is for the weapon channel to be set to the 3rd brushed channel... there is a number of pulses (i think 8 or 9 but dont hold me to it) that switches the 3rd brushed channel with w1 (left pad if both are located at the top of the board with antenna board pointi...
