I cant believe you are getting that off a single S900! I guess I need more mass behind my disc, its only 1.4Kg. How much does your beater weigh?

Thanks James, I was too lazy to take the lid off after the battle to check, but the SSR would have stayed cold. It is so overrated for that set up that even if I pretty much 'melted' the motor, battery and wires the SSR would barely get warm.

That's a very unlucky motor failure!

Calum, yes would defo be up for a re-match.

Thanks for the videos guys, did anyone catch the NST attacking the wood pieces and chassis?

[james...venom]

Some great videos there!

[cliveb]

Come on guys the awards were handed out on saturday,who won what please?

[calumco]

jamie-it was on grants lipo thats why it was so much better lol, so much more power! think i no what any christmas money i get is going on now!- technically ive owned a lipo since april time but i just never recieved it....-Then need new drive motors and nylon for the chassis too,
oh and the beater weighs 3.5 kgs and atm altogether it weighed under 13 kg and thats with heavier nimhs so shud be easy to get a self righter in there i hope
And sam i did, ill upload it friday once the sky mans installed the internet at my house lol

What are you using for drive Calum? Its pretty nippy!

[james...venom]

Hi Clive, Kane is just editing the video and I believe hopes to have it up later today.

[calumco]

it was running off 18v drills there overvolted to something like 22v but im not keeping them for the next one as the motors came loose a few times from the large impacts the robot recieved throughout the day so at the champs i wouldn't wana risk it.

[james...venom]

TS2 performed really well, seemed like a totally different machine from the champs. Are you going to enter it next year or are you having a rebuild? Seem a shame to not use it now it works so well.
