CO2 bottles

[Gasbot]

I've been looking at the Roboteq 3100BPS speedos, they're single channel and upto 120A. I did e-mail Roboteq about them a while back and got a reply saying that they should be ok but we would need to monitor the temperatures during testing. Assuming we heat sink them the same as our Dogsbollox controllers we should hopefully be ok... they never exploded, although we did manage to de-solder the main power & motor anderson connectors from the boards several times so hopefully temperature shouldn't be an issue...

Would love to fit a AX2550HE or similar but it would need significant surgery to the case to get it in, although with the new shorter bottles you never know. Just need to wait for these bottles to turn up now and hope they fit.

MegaWotty seemed to have the best specs so we've gone for one of them.

Now just have to find somewhere to put it!

Might be a while before Mute is competitive again, we've gotta remember how to drive it again. I just hope everything don't go up in a ball of flame... then could of Co2 gas when we first switch it back on again.

Last time I armed Mute with gas for the first time it put the fear of god into me! Any one want to volunteer? Promise that you wont loose all of your arm... Ok maybe I won't promise...

Wimp! Still have to gas it up by lifting the flipper?
