[kingryanrobomania]

but really good ideas

[waQde]

How much did the controller cost you?

[HBWFOWNER]

CAN U SEND ME A LIST OF WHT U USED PLZ

[rctennisbum]

Each transmitter is unique, for mine it was just a setting for use with a combat wing, and a few adjustments to the trim. Its in the manual that comes with the transmitter sometimes under fixed wing use.

[mcshfiftyfive55]

the spectrums are nice systems

[viper7ryan]

where did you get the receiver and the Transmitter (controller)????? ive been looking for one all over the internet

[rctennisbum]

Ebay or an online hobby shop.

[combatrobotics10]

Ok, thanks for the info

[combatrobotics10]

What himax brushless motor did you use?

[rctennisbum]

The motor I used was a Himax Brushless Outrunner HC28 series, but to be honest the motor is a bit sensitive and underpowered for competition use. I just used it cause thats what I had.

[JakeLeonard123]

@rctennisbum what speed controller did you use?

[rctennisbum]

Was a Castle Creations Phoenix 25 I think, I've gone through a few of those. Tried an upgrade to a 45, but it still gets warm.

[JakeLeonard123]

@rctennisbum thanks, im saving up to make one

[JakeLeonard123]

@rctennisbum ok, thanks

[TooSlowGamer]

Does the brushless motor need a gear box?

[bmx1994mathisen]

nopp

[uppercutter450]

@TooSlowGamer

No, since there is no need to reduce the speed of the motor for the weight of the robots, you simply need to just put the shell on directly.

where did my last comment go?

[ahitchon]

Thanks for the help rctennisbum I found out I can't use the floppy disk any way. I just have one more question can I just use a wooden base because I have one

[rctennisbum]

For a prototyping medium, wood is perfect, but if you are planning on doing any hard on testing or even battle, I would suggest using a metal frame. Mainly for structural purposes.

[ahitchon]

I think it's a good guide I am just wondering how to find that part your holding at 0:16 I have on old hardrive I just need to know how to find that part.

[rctennisbum]

The computer that I got the mount from was really old, and all of the parts were a lot bigger back then. Something that may be more comperable in size is a floppy disk drive, or cd drive mount. Hope this helps.

[ACDYZG]

how did you mix the servos????

I have the chassis and the 360 servos, but how can I hook up the servos to steer? all I can do is go forward and reverse...

[auggiedogsam]

exactally. Go forward with one, and it will turn.

[spinafire]

How did you mount three motors to a reciever?

[sueman2]

what voltage does the servos run off of, min.-max.

[emerica876]

how do u mix

[leorcc]

looks heavy for an ant.

[kitbots]

Beetle I think.

[daliad100]

could be an American ant

[uppercutter450]

UK ants (or fairyweights) weigh up to 150g, American ants weigh up to a pound.

[nooloo3000]

is this a lethal size for a ant weight battle

[uppercutter450]

Fot a UK ant, they have to fit within a 4 inch (10cm) cube, I'm not sure weither US ants have a size limit.

[nooloo3000]

wow what is the cheapist remote and servo driver thing i can get
