UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

22g? So the product description is only just over Twice as heavy as it should be!

Do you use them in your ants Dave?

I hope they're good, £50 is quite a sting!

yep, mine was well worth it untlil i blew it up

[Andy]

does anyone know a good website to get brushless motors suitable for a spinning drum?

[razerdave]

PJ: I use them in Bulletproof and Kill-a-chav and I have helped to make several other robots that use them and no complaints thus far. In fact I beleive Jonno uses them to power the 5KG Battle Ratz

Push-n-shove: Try Micron RC, they have quite a few good brushlesses.

Ok thanks, I'll have a look

I dunno about suitable, but I'm giving this website a good search;

Is it the Australian forum that already has a well established Beetleweight category?

Do you reckon the 30a would be up to much?

Those are uni-directional controllers

I think the weight they show on Technobots is the packed weight, so that might include a fair few pieces of packing foam, or plastic bags or whatever. But a weight saving of more than 50% is no bad thing

And for the (almost) £50 cost you'd be as well spending £3 more and getting the 12A Sabretooth if size and weight isn't an issue. Definitely suitable for a beetleweight and probably usable in a 2WD drill featherweight if you ever need to swap parts around:

Hopefully it is the same with my motors and wheels. I realised it says they weigh 160g each and the wheels 140g each. Bit too heavy.
