I am making a new blade I just need to know how to get the motor working

there isn't a lipo battery going to the brushless esc.
andy offered you some blades a while back, please use them if he still has them. don't make your own.
and please do not use the tap wrench.

Ok,

First the tap wrench is VERY unsafe. It is highly likely to fall of and going flying off and will be vey unbalaced. I would speak to Kenny to get a blade made.

for the speed controller and motor, make sure the middle wire on the esc(speed controller) goes to the middle wire on the motor and the other 2 can go either way round.

The red wire should connect to the red(+ or positive) wire of a lipo or ni-mh and the black should connect to the black(- or negative) wire.

for the lipo I would use a 2s (or 3s) 1000mAh like this one

solder this connector on the ESC, but make sure it is the right way round other wise there will be a big bang!

I have changed it to a robot with 2 weapons it has a sharp axe I made at the front and a flipper at the back so it should be a good robot

Here it's finally done http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...9/e537a3e2.jpg

So much for the beetle weight event by robo challenge today the only beetle weight was my one

Hi guys it's pugsters mum....
Sorry if he's blunt...he had a 6 hour round trip to go to robo challenge today and is disappointed that there were no beetle weights!!
Can we prevent this in the future?is there a way we can see who's actually signed up and is hoping to come!?
I think he did really well to get that robot sorted and there today!!x

its becuse beetles are a very, very new class. that was the first event in the uk (correct if wrong)

think of it like you won by default :lol:
