As Rory said I'm looking into drive kits. Not full simply because I can't do a full kit as I'd have to supply battery aswell which are normally hardsoldered in so you then need a charge port and maybe an adapter. They might not have a 1S charger, often the type of battery used needs soldering after fitting to the kit and then a switch is needed etc. I also wouldn't want mixing onboard as it adds greatly to the cost and size.

Ok I probably will leave nanos alone for a while as I have no patience for hassle until I can afford to throw money at endless errors

Will's hopefully doing a complete Nano kit soon, with the chassis and everything, which may be more your thing.

On a side note, I remain ever grateful to whoever it was who recommended my charger to me when I started out all those years ago. I have only ever had one and it has charged everything from my nanoweight to my heavyweights.

I have a Lipo charger that would manage that were my Heavy not running on SLAs... It charges the rest of my robots from my Feather to my Nanos though. On a side note to your side note, I am currently developing heavyweight grade googly eyes..

Just recieved the lipo for my last ant for the AWS. Arrived in what looks like a sliced open bag and then it was wrapped in tin foil. :-/

Stuck it on a charger and it seems fine. Looks like its been searched at the boarder or something but whoever wrapped it in tin foil is worrying!
