Team Designated's Build Diary

[Roland]

So urgh yeah, spent the week waiting for my blue wheels to arrive and got down to some serious work Friday saturday and sunday. Pics with the current outcome, more work to do now that I'm back at home such as tweaking the motor mounts and wiring everything together.

First and only attempt at wiring thus far:

Body net:

Cut body net and partially bolted:

Finished product front:

Finished product back:


I have about 2kg left when everything is weighed up (internals included) so I don't know what to do with that spare 2kg xD Any ideas?

just looking at your sabertooth and it has 1 wire connected to it going to the rx it should have 2 the other one going to signal 2.
Your robot is looking great atm try to beef up the armour or put lead around the wheels to make it heavier.

[Bodge Job]

lead?!?! noooo!!! just beef up the armour, or leve it lighter, so you have room for upgrades in the future...

[Roland]

I have 0v 5v and S1 connected, the manual says I don't need S2 connected apparently.
Though my RC male connector doesn't fit in my AR600 and I just noticed, is that meant to happen?

[kane]

You definately need S2 connected for a robot.

[Roland]

Might someone have a wiring diagram for it then? Plus a link to the wire I need to buy. I had no idea. Thanks though!

[harry hills]

just another servo wire.

to make the conecter fit in the spectum file the little tab on the side of the plug down, or just use a hitec plug

[Roland]

And the servo wire is connected to what?
Thanks.

[harry hills]

i think i awnsered the wrong question.

you need 2 rc plugs coming out of your sabertooth

[Laser]

1.put the 2 rc leads ontop of each other.
2. wire one white wire to s1
3. wire the other white wire to s2
4. wire both red wires to +5
5. wire both black wires to - (GND)
