From The Ground Up (Advice Thread)

Good advice if ever I've heard it.

And I'm sigging that if you don't mind! :lol:

It's probably more than 6 times if you include the corona that goes stupidly far into spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccee...

Just noticed my battery packs exceed the perimeters for sabretooth controllers, 25v with 42 batteries? Way over. I'm assuming I can modify the packs I've bought so that I use less cells, this depends on how much current I need, would 3300mAh be enough for a 4wd 18v pusher?
I think I could modify it and change them to two packs of 12v 3300mAh, but that would leave me with 20 cells, which I noticed Gary said in another thread burnt out sabretooth controllers he had bought. 10.8v batteries? That keeps me in the perimeter? Aaaaah

Edit: Or simpler, 25v with 21 cells, that doesn't exceed the perimeters by much and drops half the cells? Thoughts are desperately needed!

Thanks again

Hm, does anybody know any good countersunk allen head screw vendors? Me typing it into google only shows up naff results.

Thanks!

I got some recently from this eBay seller: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M6-X-30-COUNT ... 1047wt_905

He has different sizes and quantities too.

10quid for 100?? get yourself down to a fastners place, think i paid about £2 last time for similar

Found a site that sold m6*40 for 6 quid or something, only bought 50 though.
Couldn't find anything called 'fasteners place'? eBay seemed to expensive though. :lol:
Thanks anyway guys!

where you based?

Lewes in East sussex, same as the Terror Turtle team. I'm up in Whitby, Yorkshire at the moment though. I don't think there are many east sussex roboteers. :(

Active teams i can think of are Turtle, Big Brother, Barbaric Response, not sure about feather teams.

Just search for Fasteners in google or yell.com, most will have a trade counter.
