Might be just what you're after... You're located in Canada no? Not much chance you'd be competing here in the UK so their forums will likely be more relevent to whatever you end up building.

All the best

They certainly do!

I want one! lol

Due to an invasion of school work, parties, and featherweight commitments this robot will sadly not be becoming reality for at least the next three or so months!

I'm afraid this leaves AWS21 out of my range, but I'll do my utmost best to get something done for AWS22 when it comes round!

Thanks guys

I'd go for option 2, but only if you can really exploit the size and weight advantages of having an-inbuilt Rx (and crystal compatibility would certainly be an issue). Otherwise option 1 would be a great solution for the suggested price. Mixing is a useful feature that some of the US controllers lac...

I'm going to be using the remaining ~30-40mm length for the lifting forks/wedge (if I've enough time it should be interchangeable). I'm trying to maintain the scale size of the heavyweight as much as possible, though obviously I have to make some sacrifices.

I'm just realising how like featherweights my one will be - simpler I'd say hehe, I think I've got this design sussed

Hmmm, maybe I shall size down the battery if only to accomodate a little more room for stuff up front. Heres a second diagram with smaller battery and revised metal geared lifter servo mounted to one of the side bulkheads (only slightly different in size, more torque). http://www.micro-maul.co.uk/te...

I've begun designing with a scale diagram taking in all of the parts that I currently intend to use. I've stuck a 300mah li-po battery in there for now as (if I can afford the weight and space) a nice long run time would be rather conveniant. Space is a no.1 problem at the moment, mainly considering...
