TAN was there for the Dutch Series II, meaning it was also the filming of Series 6. The Germans were there for their first and only series.

Owwwww, didnt expect so many posts, well thank you all.

Right well starting at the top has anyone got Trevor of Velocerippas E-mail address.

John mentioned H5/H6???

Thanks for the pix John, was a great help. Ill probably scale downwards from your example. And go for a lighter motor with a torque in the region of 32.5 g/cm at maximum efficiency. Thats it I can get it with a 50:1 g/box.

In answer to Ewans question, why C5s. Well Im not the greatest builder, OBVIOUSLY. Got big problems with too many BIG IDEAS. So for my first SUCCESSFUL build Im gonna keep it simple. I have C5s with gearboxes and mountings already. All I have to do is pop them in. No weapon, all I have to worry about is building a chassis and putting in the transmission.

Just want to keep it simple so I can start competing at last. Dont care it I do not win. Once Ive built one I can go from there.

Dan, jump on a train to Colchester on Saturday 29th or Sunday 30th October, only 45mins from Liverpool Street and come have a look at the machines taking part in the XFM Halloween Competition - youll learn more from looking at the real thing than from a forum anyday !

The H5/H6 are speed controllers that have a servo / steering function.

The motor controller is no longer available ......but the technical info is .....

I will be at Colchester with Mini and Mighty Mouse if you want to see them in the flesh.

Am planning on coming to Colchester, was thinking of going to Macclesfield but thought it was a bit far.

Ive had a meat with a fellow builders in London this morning before work. He and his two mates built an entrant for series 2. Tom Tom or something that sounds like that. Got to the semis appartently. Theyve been working on a new heavyweight for quite a while. So if all goes well Id like to throw my lot in with them.

Possibly get there bot finished, or just start a fresh with the feather or both. Anywho, hes going to mull-it-over with his team mates and we shall see what happens.

Dan, will be good to see you - feel free to bring along the rest of your fellow builders as well if you want to. Anything you want to know between now and then - just ask !
