Re: Thinking about a one off competition.
the balance connector? has 3 wires going to it if its a 2s? usually the best way to replace any connector is to crimp them... otherwise have pre crimped ones and solder them in place of the original wires at the lipo... this obviously has many more risks, and unless you feel comfortable doing this, ...

Re: Left and Right Turning is reversed?
what esc are you using? does it have built in mixing or are you using your own mix via the tx?

Re: What to do with old and leftover parts
I understand wanting to just use parts you already have for a build. the servo suggestion was just for a future upgrade option... best of luck with your build, i look forward to seeing what you come up with as what i am picturing from your description is probably a bit different to the actual finish...

Re: What to do with old and leftover parts
i always go for a strong drive, because if your weapon is damaged or stops working, you still have good drive to fall back on... 4wd also adds redundancy... you can lose a wheel from each side and still move... 2wd, you lose 1 and your driving in circles... 4wd also feels much better to drive IMHO H...

Re: Thinking about a one off competition.
i found that the first few builds seemed daunting... but you pick up tips and tricks which help as you build more... nowdays, with all parts to hand, i can scratch build a robot that could win a fight in just a couple of hours. although typically i would say each of my bots take a day or 2 from part...

Re: TeamScrewUps poopoo bots
if you switch the wheels around, they will sit a good few mm closer to the body each side... this may also help...
my cube is just some foam tile cut up and superglued together... its pretty accurate, simple and helps a lot with builds

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: Questions about LEDs and the OrangeRX R610V2
my beetle led light was a set of led's from a poundland cob headlight that i wired into the positive and negative of an old servo lead and plugged it into a spare channel on my rx... worked great for me... the cob ran off of 6v which was funnily enough the same output from the bec built into one of ...
