Hi AliExpress sale ends today, so I was going to buy some n10 motors and get free shipping and the sale coupons but my old link is dead. Does anyone have a link to a supplier? I can only find slow ones. Also if you have a suggestion for n20 motors I'm open to those as well. Thank you for your help. ...

The BotFest arena collapses, that is all held together with 8x M5 bolts and the floor sits in between th...

Other things to think about 1. How are you going to transport this beast? Can you disassemble it easily and set it up easily? If keeping it in one piece, can you easily fit it in your vehicle? Peter designed his to perfectly fit into his car. How much is this thing going to weigh? Every step up in w...

Thanks both. In terms of hazards, it's a fair point about being able to switch them in and out depending on the competition. That's something I forgot about with the AWS rules. Obviously for different tournaments I've got more freedom in that regard, but if the prevailing opinion is they're unpopul...

Found the discontinued product https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-180mah-2s-25-40c-lipo-pack-5pcs.html Google is bringing up some from random websites that are like $14-$16 a piece (180mAh, but not Turnigy) Amazon UK has some 1S 150mah but they only seem to ship within the UK. Probably f...
