All top armour now painted now for the rest of the robot. pic on profile :proud:
Ill have to send you one of my robots to get the paint done :D
Not sure what the FRA will make of that skeleton on the back :S In antweights, you arent allowed any artwork that is offensive or distaseful, dunno if its the same for HWs
I kind of miss playing with the heavies, so Ive been thinking about knocking together a heavyweight version of Pillow Torque.
Still working on specs for the drive, but lets just say its starting to look interesting :wink:
Watch this space!

Thought ill see if it still runs, may build the disc into Knightmares old chassis for Craigs event.
The more spinners the better :proud:
I love the sound of a petrol engine spinner :)
Lol Tony youre dam right, surprised you stood that close!
Dose anyone have a contactor for 24 volts to control the spinner motor for The Saint, It€™s a Perm 1.5Kw so I think about 180 amps should do it.
Thanks
:)

Gratz on getting storm force. Just curious what speedo do you run and what voltage do you run the bosch 400s?
That must of been one heavy christmas present.
Thank U! It was a great xmas present to open in the morning as well! The speed controller I think is DC Contacts Im not sure, it says that on the RR Database. Not sure about the voltage that the motors run on Im afraid. Ill have to ask either John Findlay or David Bewely.
Regards
Liam Bryant
hiya,
Yes it uses DC contactors, running at 24v.
John
