Tomahawk 2012

several years ago I bought Tomahawk and since then it was laying around in several sheds accros belgium and holland .
In a jointventure we are rebuilding tomahawk .
We ... Mario , Jeroen , Stefan and Marco have started and already made some progress .
Mario and Jeroen are responsable for the weaponsystem .

Stefan and Marco are responsable for the drivetrain .

We try to get it ready before maidstone ...

The weapon setup had several issues, it was complicated , messy unreliable and suffered from poor flow. There where serveral buffer tank, and we needed 1 big tank. Mario had the answer to that.
First setup: ( made by me )

that is so cool.

today we made the a123 battlepacks and ordered a new transmitter ... sunday we are gonna test the drive and weaponsystem ...

Now that's a spanner wall to be proud of!

I can only dream to one day have a wall so well covered in spanners.

The robot also looks pretty cool.......

specialy the flow of the old Tomahawk and the new one is much better ...

somebody got a spare sidewinder for maidstone ... blew up ours ... try to get it fixed this week ... ?

Team RCC's Sidewinders got stolen.
Bullfrog is using the spare of TAN.

nobody ... ?

Do you have room for a wotty ? I have one sat here doing nothing ATM.

yep ... are you coming to maidstone and bring it along .... try to fix the sidewinder but don´t know if we gonna make it in time ...

No problem, I'll bring it to maidstone with me :).

Actually I am willing to sell it. Its in near mint condition so I would be looking for near the price I paid (which was £370). I'll take any reasonable offer.

we´ll talk in maidstone...

Dave, Gilbert might need a wotty hv as his was smashed at Swansea I know he is contacting Ian but. I dont know if Ian can make one in time.

Well since Marco got in there first, he has first refusal, or perhaps just the usage for this event (swap it in and out even ?). If Marco is getting a replacement sidewinder then I'll sell the wotty to Gilbert :).

Tomahawk has the same problem as Bullfrog. No room for a Wotty.

sidewinders are just not relaiable enough ... jeroen blew one in Guildford and ours just blew without any reason ... so yeah , I´m interested in the wotty ... just pm me please ...

We decided to run TMHWK on 6 bar instead of 10 bar to give you all a chance :talker: :talker: :talker: :talker: :talker: :talker: :talker: :talker: :talker: :talker: :talker:
