just a little update, i been looking at the internals for the bot and have decided on what im getting for the rx/tx
iv decided to go with;
OrangeRx T-six 2.4ghz DSM2 6CH
OrangeRx R710 7ch w/failsafe
Hobbyking x-car 45A brushed ESC (are these compatible with the argos drill motors?)
Lipo batterys (if someone has the drill motors from argos and running lipos, what size lipo are u running?)
That speedo can only use 2S LiPo, that's 6.6V. Not ideal if you ask me.
what would you recommend then maddox?Originally Posted by maddox10
2S LiPo is 7.4V (3.7V/cell) nominal, 8.4V fully charged.
Oeps, I was thinking with the LiFepo4 voltages.
We have good results with 3S in Hannibalito 4. That uses 9.6V GR01's with big wheels -170mm diameter.
For speedo's, if you want to keep it budgetfriendly, and "enough". The BotBitz 30A speedo will do the job. For later upgrades, TZ85's do the job in a lot of machines.
For more control, but with a pricetag, you have the Scorpion XXL , the larger Sabertooths or the in the UK unknown IB Fink mk 4.1
OK brilliant thanks for pointing that out for me :-)
Been to @geeza today got some really great advice and a box full of goodies, thank you so much

What are it's overall dimensions? Looks quite small so you may struggle to fit everything in!
450mm x 400mm
