Ian

I€™m looking forward to seeing it in action. I found for cutting the Poly a wood saw from Argos was best, and to de-bur the cut I found rubbing an old 12€ steel rule along the edge did the trick!
Mine wont be ready for Swindon but should be ready for Guildford if I can get the spare funds for the Battery packs and the DX5 radio.

See you guys at Swindon

The Mighty Seraphim 95cm wide 105cm long 50cm high, and it€™s a featherweight!!!

How big Craig?? :shock: ...and you claim it's a feather! ...I gotta see this on a set of scales. :wink:

[craig_colliass]

The weight should be well in the limit!
I hope to bring the Work in progress to Swindon so you can
SEE AND BELIEVE

Be prepaired for the sword of Nemesis :shock: :shock:

I'd be inclined to say that by reducing the duty cycle you allow yourself to overvolt the motor even more, thereby getting the same average power output ;-)

More batteries = more weight I'm currently using this method to get more power and speed, I stepped up from 19.8v to 39.6v and I'm starting to limit of the motor (12v motor @ near 40v). If I could run that motor at full power all the time, I could get away with probably 26.4v instead to get the same power.

Hmm, maybe we need a Melty Brain thread instead of OT'ing this thread:P

Hope they are of intrest

Lmao, epic
Nice work Craig. What motors are driving it?

[craig_colliass]

MFA 975D these are 12v motors (running at 14.4v) Motor dia aprox 45mm they are coupled to all metal planetary gearboxes so final drive speed will be aprox 80rpm to 500mm dia wheels!

I hope the weight should be around 12.5Kg with out the batteries they weigh about 900g so I should be ok.

Nearly completed, just need to clean up the edges, due to my dodgy cutting, fit an LED and it should be ready to get beaten up.

All it needs now is a name.
