How could I Improve pt 2

[leorcc]

Is it me or did you just make it heavier instead of lighter?

Only the motors changed, he did squat for the rest...

I would have liked to have seen more batteries in there. Right now you have the bare minimum for the 2 magmotors, but you still have a Lem to feed as well.

Apart from that I think you will be ok.

[swanaldo]

the lem will be surprisingly easy to run. it wont use that much power when spun up. might take a bit to get started tho but as long as its spinning it shouldnt use up that much power. envy runs 3 nicad pacs and can run a 3 min fight with ease using mag c40 motors.

[leorcc]

C40s take less power than S28s do, according to the stats of the manufacurer. And I recall Envy runs on 24V. On 36V the power goes up, but so does the current consumption (more amps are drawn for motors to come to optimum rpm).

Im not often on the advice-asking end of the stick but Joey informed me about hydrostatic drive systems on msn and Id love to find out more about these, lol

can anyone explain how these work and what benefits they might have?
