I remember with the original version of Void, it only fit in the cube with the lifter all the way up. However. I couldn't adjust travel on my transmitter, so I had to turn the transmitter off, move the servo to the top of it's travel, and then only turn the transmitter on when the fight started and hope I got control before the opponent reached me!

Just about fits in with the flipper up.

Just hope my later bots look half as nice as Void 9.0.

The parts for Sharknado finally arrived from Hong Kong. Got 47 grams for the chassis and armour.

I love the name :) this might be a stupid question, but what's that speed controller rated for? It looks quite large relative to the motor size (as does the battery, although at least you wouldn't have to worry about recharging much!)

Those fans work through an astounding amount of power Joey. The one in my old fanbot could draw 15-20A at full tilt on 2 cell!

aaaah, that explains a lot! :) (I'm used to brushless motors attached to things that hit people)
