Re: Team Ions build diary

I also thought about it and I was over thinking it. I'm going to order one of everything else I need from US suppliers and that way I can test out all the tx and rx to make sure they are working while I wait for the slow shipping orders to arrive. Quads seem neat, but I really want to spend my time ...

Re: Team Ions build diary

Just got in my banggood package which obviously traveled through 2 war zones and was sat on by a hippo. I think in the present circumstances, you should be glad they sent it at all. As China is mostly on lockdown a lot of workers are not permitted to go to their place of work, or are on reduced hou...

Re: Team Shakey Build Diary

Does this bot have two batteries? Are they two, 1S batteries to distribute the volume to make the design work where a single 2S would be too big; or two, 2S batteries to get more power like one for the wheels and one for the servo? Power side it's just a normal 2S battery. I'm using 2 single cells ...

Re: Team Ions build diary

Just got in my banggood package which obviously traveled through 2 war zones and was sat on by a hippo. I would like to have seen them use something other than a plastic bag for packaging. They literally taped the 4 flysky TX together threw the rx on top and wrapped it in a garbage bag. That's it, n...

Re: Team Ions build diary

I now have 1 jumper T16 transmitter (no batteries) 4 KST ds215mg servos And 5, 5A ESCs Waiting on batteries, 1.8A ESCs, receivers, flysky transm...

Re: Charger question

Most of the Ant robots use packs with 2 or 3 cells, I don't think that charger will be able to charge such a pack, unless you make a splitter cable and charge one cell at a time, which is very inconvenient. It's not clear from the description that the charger can charge a 2S pack by using two chann...

Charger question

Hi Does this charger look good? I know it is just for 1s, but I can't find any that I want (isdt or hobbymate) that are sold by Amazon itself right now and I've got a free $15 off $25 for using their photos app that musy get spent. If this is decent for 1s use I might get it just to use the coupon a...

Re: Team Shakey Build Diary

What happened to filthy casuals? I was rewatching AWS 49 and really like this bot. Looks nifty! Will you ever bring him back? Filthy Casuals as a personal bot is retired but it still somewhat lives on. That geared drive iteration worked well enough it formed the basis for quite a few robots since: ...

Re: Team Shakey Build Diary

Why not buy a batch of the "super cheap" Hobbyking 2-3S lipo chargers (DC input), and build some kind of splitter cable so they can all run from the same (suitably rated) mains power supply. They also have (if I remember correctly) screw holes in the back for mounting on a panel, e.g. a p...
