Grip should improve power as it reduces wheelspin and if you don't want to buy new motors aswell just get Alex to custom make you some 50mm or similar wheels and get them slightly wider than usual then one pair of custom wheels will solve everything as they will make it a lot faster and grippier

Well I asked Alex about the speed reduction in his smaller wheels when he mentioned that most robots use a higher voltage then what I currently use, so part of the problem can be quickly solved, but I might also replace the current wheel like you said with some of Alex's. But I'm browsing for new motors anyway so I'll keep and eye out for faster ones.

So for the first fight Jessica took control of Bunny-Ears when it went up against one of Dave's robots (I forgot what it was called) and well as expected Bunny-Ears lost but Jessica managed to give Dave a run for his money, not bad for a 8 year old. Sadly Bunny-Ears struggled to get a attack, even Jessica noticed the lack of speed in Bunny-Ears' movements. This was also the only fight we took damage.. a small indent in the flipper arm.
I thought she did really well! She deserved the hearty applause!

Man I seem to have mix luck with recievers one lemon RX is being odd and my receiver I got with my DX5e is refusing to bind to my new DX6i.

In other news Killer-Wolf's got a new link for the flipper to improve the power output of the servo.

re-wired Killer-Wolf’s drive as the wheels was inverted after I sorted out the mixing on my new DX6i, shout out to my dad for buying the DX6i.
Also got my spare Lemon RX working and bind ready for Bunny-Ears.

motors are now in Killer-Wolf, will have to trim the wires between the ESCs and receiver to free up space, even got the switch mounted.
