Got the Armour plate back from the foundry!

This is another modification for Cherub the 3mm plate on the front got bent again! "THOR" enough said.

So I have increased the thickness to 6mm on the sides and 8mm on top also I have taken a design idea employed in the Armour of the Armadillo and Woodlice, so this time the front plates will overlap the rear Armour allowing some movement between them when hit.
This is what I like about this hobby always learning.

That's right if your under it, it can't hit you

Hi

I was going to upload some pictures but the site won't let me at the moment!!

Anyway I have been doing a little on Spiderbot. I have changed the speed controller from one Sidewinder to another Sidewinder! It's a long and boring storey so I wont go into it now. I did have to fit a BEC as I had disconnected the one in this unit a while ago.

The Sidewinder dose seem to work well in Spiderbot,

Still I had a little trouble with the radio gear it is the cheap Technobots gear, normally I have had no problems with it but today it seemed to keep loosing it's centre, so with the stick in neutral it would creep forward, then a little later with the stick in neutral it would creep backwards. changed the radio to Spectrum DX5e and all is well.
