Question Answered - A 4WD Mini BattleBot

I have gotten quite a few emails from people asking me if it is possible to build a 4WD mini BattleBot that is still driveable. For the longest time my engineer friends told me "NO!!! IT"S NOT POSSIBLE!!!", but then why is it that TYCO, EDGE, and other companies built a few RC cars that did just this. In short the answer is yes it does in fact work, in the video I will give a quick demonstration as well as a few tips.

i think the reason why they have ONE plastic gear in the higher quality servos is to provide the actual "driving" part of the servo with a safety precaution, kinda like what they do with lawnmowers. if you hit something hard with your lawnmower (aka rocks) then it strips a key to prevent the engine from being damaged. i think thats why they do it in the servos too, cuz its a lot cheaper to buy a small plastic gear replacement rather than a whole new servo XD

what was the alot of people just your mommy?

if you hate the servos, try using futaba s3115. goes about 0.5-7 sec faster per. 60. degree

[teamorr96]

if you wanna make it faster, you can speed hack them rather than the standard hack
