scruffy

[plargen]

thought i should do a minor update on scruffy after maidstone ......good bit of fun lol, managed to shove a few in the pit and flipped a bot (well rolled it lol) and it had no problems self righting even with the missing spikes

my 1mm titanium blade bent so i either need to get a piece of hardox or 2-3mm ti, all my goth spike broke so i will need to look into getting some made from ti bar and my servo/micro switch controller for the actuator packed up on the last fight (luckily)

upgrade plans are to go back to 4s lipo instead of 3s the get the old scruffy speed back but the actuator is already fast enough so i plan to use a resistor pack form a car fan/heater system to keep the power to around the 12v mark

ive also been looking at the battle switches but i am unsure if they will work with the dx3e pistol grip tx so might just have to make another servo switch, upgrade the blade to something thicker and change the spikes for something stronger

night fury ran ok in the playtime at the beginning but died at the end turned out to be the battery had swollen so i think i ran it for to long or possibly damaged it somehow but my spare battery still runs it fine, anyway i was unsure on lipo disposal so i check on the net and found out it was easy just drain it flat and its safe so i did so

only upgrades night fury needs is some new front scoops probably best to get some hardox


on another note i will hopefully be starting my heavyweight in the near future its gonna be old tech wheelchair motors and 4QD esc as i already have these and im aiming for 5mm steel armour, im also leaving room for upgrades later on once these bits have broken lol
