    Hey there, im sorry for not responding over the weekend. How are you getting on with your ant kit?

    Just to add... I also wanted to ask about how Id go about adding an on off switch ? Because at the moment I just take the battery out. Any Ideas?
    As Ocracoke says, making a safety link out of the same plug types as the battery , i believe they are called JST connectors.
    Another way you can do it is by including a miniature single pole double throw switch on the positive rail in between battery and your electronics. I use the one on the link below on my ant brutal barbera:

    https://www.maplin.co.uk/p/single-po...iniature-ff77j

    That switch is rated at 125 Vac 0.3A. However, when using low DC, as in 7.4V, i have found it can handle more significantly more current (at least around the ~1Amp range). provided you dont switch it off to many times when your ant is at maximum loading, the switch should survive for quite a while.

    Ive re solded all the wires I felt we’re abit dodgy, and tried again, but still having no luck. same problems of one motor going full pelt, and the other doing nothing. I’ve got a few other sets of motors I’ll try before flipping and throwing it all the bin hahaha any other ideas of what I’m doing wrong?

    ill give that switch a go as well! I’ll pick one up later!
