Cheers john,

Had a good day filming for the gadget show-The tool steel tooth had no problems slicing through the 4mm titanium front end of the gadget bot robot and took no real damage to the tips.

After that fight with DB5 i saw some magic smoke come out the front of the robot.. its either the speedo or the motor that's blown... either way i dont care as it will urge me to carry on with the upgrades and those parts would be redundant anyhow.

2nd fight with db5

I laughed hard at the end of that

But seriously, all the work you've been putting into it is definitely showing, Dave! Great work!

[Mouldy]

Thanks..

And for all those people who said brushless will never work...

Here's what me and little spinner made of DB5 before Ed said stop...



Fair play though he put what was left of the link back into what was left of the chassis and the LED still came on and the motors made a noise lol

dave ya forgot that we loosened db5 up!

[Mouldy]

Kenny, what you think to this for the upgrade..

running one of those on 6s lipo will be faster then two smaller brushless and have about the same power- But more reliability and less weight...

[Kenny]

go for it.....

[Mouldy]

Got the motor thanks to kenny- its the biggest motor i could get to fit into 360, figured it was more reliable on one smaller motor then two smaller motors, i ran the gadget show event on one 1400w motor running on 4s lipo, so ive ditched the dual brushless in favour of a single 2700w motor on 6s lipo.

Eds making the mount, then when thats done it should bolt striaght into were the old gearbox went... ill loose weight of the gearbox and an exstra esc, prob save about 250g so should be well in the weight limit now.

rubbish quality pic of the new motor compaired to the old one;


360's pretty much done now... So im going to be starting on a new project... 460... Not sure weather to make it an over head bar spinner with real powerful magnets and 4wd from dewalts with one big motor again but run it of 12s lipo.. or make an invertable full body spinner, again 4wd but less powerful more weight in the weapon..

At the moment im tempted by the hazard style bar spinner...As with powerful enough drive i can play about with it at normal events aswell as full combat plus ive never seen a successful over head bar spinner in the uk.

Opinions?

I'd love to see you make a overhead bar spinner, Hazard shows they can be very succesful, the main reason I am making Heretic (an antweight overhead bar spinner).

[xtreme]

Hazard is a super impressive robot, and very sucessful, plus theres not one like it in the UK. Altho an invertable shell spinner/FBS could be close to impossible to beat unless it throws itself oota.
