Hi guys, I recently purchased a BattleRatz kit from Roaming Robots and I am about to install the Battery, Speed Controller & Fuse but do not know where they go, does anyone have any ideas where they go, or better yet, a diagram?

Hi guys, I recently purchased a BattleRatz kit from Roaming Robots and I am about to install the Battery, Speed Controller & Fuse but do not know where they go, does anyone have any ideas where they go, or better yet, a diagram?
i thought the kits came with instructions with diagrams?
i think if your usihg the sealed lead acid battery that fits in the hole under the flipper arm
best to ring or email Jonno he will know how to advise on the kit you have purchased
btw are you coming to any RR events to fight your battlerat?
alex
thanks for the help, I thought that was where the battery went.
and yes, I will be bringing Renegade to roaming robots events.
ok, layout is fixed but I do have one more question, I have connected the Forward and Turn control wires to the correct slot, but which channel does Flip connect to?
your choice but you won't need it just keep it tied its for when a robot gets flipped over you flick a switch and all your controls are the right way round again
Ok, all wired up, tried to do a test, nothing, no signs of life, any ideas?
Charged the battery?
put the link in?
plugged the transmitter battery in?
Checked the transmitter battery is connected to the receiver the right way round?
bound the transmitter?
Had any blue smoke released from the speed controller?
Battery was charged :lame: , but the reciever battery was missing :sad: , hopefully nothing else will go wrong, and by the way is the name Renegade :twisted: already taken, if not it's reserved by me.
Best get used to hearing 'and the winner iiiiiiiiiiiiis..............................CYANID E!!'Quote:

my attempt at a battlerat will be at guilford this weekend :talker:
Ok, I talked to Jonno and he said I don't need a reciever battery, could there be another problem or is he wrong?
(Edit) The problem seems to be that the reciever doesn't switch on.
What transmitter have you got? Is it 2.4ghz? If it is it needs to be boundQuote:

tell us what 2.4ghz system you have and the binding proces you use, btw the reciever will need power either from a battery or the robot in order to bind
alex
The system is A Planet T5 Adavnced 2.4 GHZ with a 5 channel transmitter and a 6 channel reciever.
The Binding instructions are as follows:
1) Switch off the transmitter.
2) Connect receiver battery. Press the binding microswitch on the reciever undersurface briefly once with your fingernail or small screwdriver.
3) The reciever status indicator will flash in groups of three.
4) Switch on the transmitter. As the signals are acquired, the binding LED will flash briefly and then glow solidly a few seconds later indicating a successful binding.
5) Operate your model as normal. The Binding LED glows solidly once bound with the transmitter.
Any help?
If your reciever doesn't have a separate battery it'll be run off the robot's main batteries, so you'll have to substitute 'put link in to turn robot on' for 'connect reciever battery'
still nothing.
Are the wires from the speed controller connected to the receiver?Quote:

If all three wires are present and correct the brown/black wire shoul go to the back of the receiver which is the opposite side to the text that read b 1 2 3 4 5 6
Andy
that is how I have it connected at the moment.
This may sound silly but have you plugged the speed controller fittings into the reciever the right way round? if they are reversed then there will be no power to the reciever.
Brown - earth
red - live
orange - signal
Have you got a meter so you can check that there is a voltage across the red/brown wires when power from the battery is applied to the speed controller? If there is no current then the sabretooth is faulty and should be returned, if there is current it may be the reciever.
Can you get to Guildford on Sunday?
