A bit late updating this one. If you were at RL Grantham then you'll have seen The Honey Badger 3.0 very very briefly. In the end, the way the motors were mounted into the body were the let down coupled with the hubs that once again warped. I've managed to get them off but the motors had to go to Kaizen so at the moment, The Honey Badger 3 is currently a empty shell.

That will change fairly soon I think, I've finally gotten brushless motors nailed (many thanks to qbnut for his advice on how he did it in Broadax) so my plan is to rebuild The Honey Badger 3 into a far more robust design using a pair of brushless motors and a pair of 100A RedBricks. With lessons learnt from Kaizen, what I'll do is build a single stage reduction mechanism from the motor to a set of drive wheels and keep the same sort of shape.

The RedBricks you need to use the rb70a2.inc file from the SimonK assembly and fiddle a little bit with the MIN_DUTY and POWER_RANGE bands and all the timings that come with that. It doesn't seem to want to play ball with the KEDA 5663 195kv motors properly but I have but I have at least got it going forwards and backwards after a lot of messing around, if somewhat with the jitters (moreso backwards than forwards) Interestingly, if I then plug in a Turnigy Aerodrive 5045 660kv motor, that almost works properly in both directions (I suspect some of the values I have in there at the moment is a bit out there).

Sadly, no robot around to try this out with... yet. I've a Beetleweight in build at the moment and of course Kaizen to fix up so I'll have to put this one on hold for the time being. As I say, I have a shell, just nothing to go in there apart from the TZ85As if I wanted a brushed setup.
