I would like to know wether the attached file is good enough for me to bother bringing it to an event and I am having some last minute troubles with the flipper it can not raise 150g would this http://www.rcmodelcentre.co.uk/S/TEC-PA ... d_634.html provide enough torque for the flipper.
I can't view Word documents so I can't see the picture properly I'm afraid :( but going on the text it doesn't seem bad, really as long as an antweight works and is held together pretty well you can take it to a RL or RR event and have it last the entire day or two days. I can't really make the same guarantees about more competitive antweight events and ones that allow spinners I'm afraid :P but you'll not find any lack of people offering help and advice once you bring it to an event.
The PArk Flyer servo will provide more than enough torque to lift/flip a 150g robot, so that's a good choice :) its slightly faster stablemate the Park HPX F used to be the flipper servo of choice in most antweights and is still about as good as you can get with plastic gears.
looks very bigger brother-esc, how did you get it underweight with a 9v battery?
i agree about the park flyer servos, also try hitec mg82
The chasy and servos weigh 30 grams or less but the servo I am using for the flipper is to weak so that might go up
what is a chasy? go nimh or even lipo for batterys. probably go for a metal geared servo for the lifter
Sorry a bit of sloppy typing for me I mean't chassis
ahh, i see
Can i just say these events as much as they are competitions they are also supposed to be fun so it is down to you on that as long as you have fun with it then it won't matter if you lose every battle :)
yep, in one year of antweights i can count my victorys on one hand 8)
they are quite competitve though :twisted:
I am ready to fight but when I use the left wheel the flipper sometimes activates is cross channel interference possible
