Some of it will go on ebay... some not. Contact me if your interested.

To start...

2 x 250w 24vdc scooter motors. (Used)

12 x 7.2v 3700mAh NIMH battery packs as used in our 2008 Ratz at Haven. (Used)

How hard is the Makrolon, and weight?
See Ya at Nottingham
Matt
Team Hunt

Matt, Makralon is what they use for the arena walls so its pretty tough. That said it is possible to go through it. Youll see SMIDSYs battle scars at Nottingham where Dominator went through the Makralon (Not right through though).

Its plastic so very light weight. I have dropped Jonno a line for a sheet because I want to sand the back of it and put my colour change LEDs up against it so my new axe feather can have colour changing body panels (Hence the name Psychodelic:))

Andy

Macrolon= Polycarbonate by brandname

Polycarbonate weights 1.2kg m² per mm.
The most suitable affordable, see trough plastic we can use for our machines.

will you be selling any of those many robots i have seen in your worshop?:)

ermm..

I dont have that many, but I guess so !!

I only really have Scar - Series 2 or 3 i think.
Vertical spinning disc, wheel chair motor drive, no insides, but ive probably got enough bits to get it running.

Ill dig it out when I move and send a picture if your interested.

John

cool thatll be a nice get well soon present :)

Since When have you had Scar ?

BTW, I was series 4: Got KOed by Firestorm and The Morgue in Heat C

Well, technically it went through due to Morgue being flipped, but had some sort of massive technical problem and couldnt compete further...

*crawls back into nerd cave*

what u doin with the old beast n that shed t bone?

ok, decision made...

For sale -

SCAR - Series 4 robot, steel construction, wheel chair motor drive system, very simple, vertical spinning disc, no insides, but willing to have a look to find some thing to put in it for who ever, ( if anyone buys it ). Basically a bare rolling chassis. Offers welcome.

Storm Force - Series 4 robot, steel chassis construction, ali armour, as seen at many RR events, with Matt driving. CO2 powered axe and flipper fitted, not the most powerful, but crowd enjoy it. Potential to be upgraded.
Cradle, locking pin, failsafes, remote kill, remote co2 dump. 40mhz Hitec TX 6 channel. Hawker batteries fitted, and charger complete.

Needs a small amount of TLC to the body pannels, but apart from that its ready to be charged, gassed and ready to fight. Offers welcome.

John

Hope scar gets used again, i loved the look of that robot

John, are you going to supply a wiring diagram with Storm Force?? :wink:

Just Youtubed footage of Scar and its certainly quite cool looking. I dont have the funds to buy it but I hope someone does, would be nice to see it running. Although judging from the Youtube vid, ditch the wheelchair motors and get some Bosches in there :)

Love the look of SCAR. If no one has made an offer in a few weeks I will do (student loans have their uses :))

actually geoff... yes....

When i bought it, it came with a wiring diagram.

It is a lot simpler than it looks to be fair when you stick your head inside it !!!

For an old machine, apart from a bit of denting to the pannels, the only things ever gone wrong are:

1) A microswitch moving out of align stopping the weapons firing.
2) A wheel bearing mounting needed rewelding.

Very well built machine !!

How much you think it would cost to buy SCAR and get it up and running again?

youd need a heavy overhaul of the whole thing. including purchasing...

Batteries & Speedcontroller..

Im going to take some pictures next week and post them.

JOhn

So basically SCAR is a chassis with some motors and wheels, correct?

7.2v 3700mAh NIMH battery packs as used in our 2008 Ratz at Haven. (Used)------

how many battery packs? im might buy 3 off you if youve got 3 and what kind of price?

im tempted to buy storm force as it would set me up for my first heavy weight but im not sure at the moment.

Im tempted to buy SCAR but the fact that I dont have space for it, the money to get it running and an unfrequent live event attendance means it would be more of an impulse buy than anything. Need to stop frittering my money away, even if it is a student loan and thats what theyre there for :crazy:

It would be great to buy Storm Force, but we cant afford him... (Shame ( :- )
Proably name him something like Thunder Clap or Hunter Senior.
Another blue robot! :proud:

Jonno do you have any of the 7.2v bot packs left? i could do with 2 of them for Metatron

Thanks

I think I have the money to buy Storm Force but I have to stick to driving my featherweight before I can attempt something like that

I once saw the old Big Cheese on ebay going for £5!
But that was years ago!

jonno, whats the links to your ebay things?

could do with a tool box, need 1 like shanes snap on 1 on wheels! lol

Im the new (3rd) owner of SCAR, gonna remove the disc and wheelchair motors and stick a hydraulic jaw on the front and a couple of bosches in for drive, Having seen the videos of SCAR in series 4 I think if it was faster and not a spinner it would work well
Crusher wise think Killalot claw style

the jaws would look like A nice beak. That with the cool bodywork, its going to look like one mean machine.

Tool box not on ebay yet only just got it to my garage and need to empty my tools, and clean it up. it will be going on on wednesday when I get back from Maidstone.

My new neighbours gave me a stange look last night when I unloaded major damage from the van into my garage LOL :)
