Newbie questions - main one - how cheap can a bot be? Advice please. :)

Well that sounds a lot more like it! I'll check all that out - cheers, Rapidrory.

Have you hacked those servos for continuous spin yourself? How difficult is it?

I'm currently looking into the possibility of building rudimentary transmitters, receivers, amplifiers and motors myself. Since the weight limit is whatever I choose and we'll all be using more or less the same parts there's little reason not to if it works out cheaper. Other than time of course, which is a concern...

All the better though if I can avoid all those miles from China I suppose.
