Re: GeorgeR's robots
What brush less motor do you use on vampire?
Re: GeorgeR's robots
I use the LeTodar 2204 on both Vampire and RBMK. It's stupidly robust (5mm shaft!) and has a good selection of threaded holes to mount blades. It is a bit on the big/heavy side though - 28mm diameter, 20mm tall, 28g.Henwilled Antweight team wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 6:27 pm What brush less motor do you use on vampire?
I like them because they're cheap (£7ish) and I still haven't managed to break one despite all the abuse.

Re: GeorgeR's robots
Thanks, my old one weighed 30. The shaft size is the same. But I need to replace it for more torque. So, thanks I might change to them.
Re: GeorgeR's robots
If you want more torque (I guess you mean on initial spin-up) you would almost certainly be better off looking at your esc and its settings, or possibly the battery - any decent sized brushless should have more than enough.

Re: GeorgeR's robots
Just want to say, your robots are really neat, I love the aesthetics of them - particularly Valkyrie and RBMK. I don't think I've seen any other robot quite like this one!

Re: GeorgeR's robots
Many thanks, I'm glad you like them. Personally I'd much rather build something different and interesting than just go all out for competitiveness.

Re: GeorgeR's robots
You seem to manage all three.
Re: GeorgeR's robots
George, can I ask what it is you use for chemical welding polycarb?
A grabber? I CHALLENGE IT WITH JIGGY!
Re: GeorgeR's robots
I use "EMA plastic weld" and find it works very well, apply it to both parts, then clamp them together for a few hours.
Be aware that the chemicals it contains (methylene chloride) are really VERY nasty, always use in a well ventilated area and wear gloves to avoid any skin contact.
