New FW- doorstop

[Bodge Job]

Ould have thought that would be fine? That's sounds pretty sturdy!

[Danjr1]

ill see how it goes. I'm leaning towards the flat wedge, is cheaper and i can put something into the wedge (steel bits) to stop things going straight over

[PJ-27]

Satanix is 5mm mild steel and that stands up to pretty much everything.

A lot of it is about how it's mounted though.

[Danjr1]

finally near-enough finished!

Just awaiting the botbitz 85A escs and a little bit of angle grinding on the wedge. Upgrades in future will include a further support under the wedge and real speed 900s. Will try and use the pistol grip TX system with the new ESCs as the electronizes would go full throttle on that system when the signal was lost.

[Danjr1]

The LED strips have turned out pretty good! Performed nicely at guildford other than small niggling issues which will get sorted. ESCheap 85a ESCs have now been fitted and are much better than the old electronizes.

Next set of improvements will be new side panels which will have a shoulder for the steel wedge and polycarb armour, a HDPE wedge at the back for when its flipped and possibly real speed 900s (although the replicas are more than adequate!). May also look into getting titanium axles.

Do the replicas run ok on 22v? Would they be ok running in 24v as a spinner motor?

[Danjr1]

yeah, had no issues. get a little warm but thats it. I'd say give it a go as they are only £12 delivered on ebay! only thing might be that they have less torque than the real ones so you may have to reflect this in the spinner drive ratio.

What gears did you use?

[Danjr1]

Modified 90t mod 1 spur and 12t pinion gears. All from technobots

[Danjr1]

Need a little advice if possible. I currently run a 2wd replica speed 900 wedge rambot, which is generally built from HDPE, but I'm flirting with the idea of resurrecting my 4wd four motor 22.2v rambot built entirely of 5mm steel. Not too sure whether to stick with HDPE speed 900 bot or go for a 4wd drill steel bot? Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Cheers
