Re: Building an arena question

Just to throw this in, the BotFest arena only has a arena floor space of 810mm squared with one side exposed as the pit which does perfectly well for the event that it is used in. I think the overall size is 900mm long x 840mm wide x 300mm tall with 4mm polycarbonate on all the sides and roof. Sound...

Re: What transmitters are the favourite now?

To throw in another option, I know of a few people (myself included) who use the OrangeRX transmitters which in the UK at least is DSMX only I believe. International versions also support DSM2.

Re: After the esc, the other stuff - simplistic questions

To try and answer a few more of your questions: What type and guage of wire is typically used to connect the parts? I typically use 26AWG wire, which I believe is the sort of wiring you'd see on standard JR servo connectors anyway. Never had one burn up on me in the AW class, whatever it is connecte...

Re: jes's build log

I would possibly look at this (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/orangerx-r614xn-dsm2-dsmx-nano-indoor-diy-receiver-with-cppm-pwm-spektrum-jr-multirotor-quadcopter.html).

Re: jes's build log

Looks good, can't wait to see it in the flesh! If you needed to save a little bit of extra weight, I might have suggested replacing the metal bolts and nuts with nylon types but I doubt they would have saved you the 1.5g needed.

Re: Budget dsm2/dsmx transmitter

I would have thought a eBay deal on a DX6i or something like that (noting they do a specific DSMX version so make sure you are sure as to which type of transmitter you are looking at) would do the job here.
