So lots of people are making their own topics, where all the stuff is together, im gonna make one too, just to keeb everyting in one place/organized.
All of the information about building and stuff will be here.
So lets begin.

So, there is a little turtorial/overview how to make a high powered servo from any geared motor- Cheap.

[Mouldy]

hmm i might try making a similar controller for 360s self-righter.... you seem to have two servo boards in the electrical box uve made, why is that?

It looks like your just using the two motor outputs from the servo to fire 2 relays.. one forward and one reverse... correct?

[rallikas]

Yes there are 2 servo boards, but i use only one. (amother one is just for another servo)
I used the same control box on my full size rc car, so it has some more channels...

You need only two relays, 4 diodes and 1 servo for one superservo. Look at the schematics in the video.

So here is how it works.

That's really cool
Didn't realise you could make an electric motor servo in such a simple way.

Q: Just out of interest, how have you attached the end of the potentiometer to the output shaft of the gearbox?

Do you actually watch the videos too, or my english is too bad?

Yes, the shaft comes out from both sides, end of the potentiometer is shrink-tubed to the shaft.

I did watch the videos, but I couldn't make out anything about how the potentiometer was attached. Now I know though

sweet, etek powered servo here i come

[rallikas]

That thing will cut your arm off ! (just had to say it)

[rallikas]

Updates!
Made some pics from the last robot project i have been working on.
Have done some test drives too, it isnt the fastest thing that i have made, but its enough for a spinner!
Quess what the wheels actually are made for!



These bent brackets in the front are only temporary...

guessing...er...no clue, are they rollers for conveyer belts of some kind or something? :P

Looks great though, I like the design so far.
