Update

Got my Botbitz ESCs today. Crazy fast service; paid for them on Saturday (12th), got dispatched Monday and arrived today. Absolutely no complaints about Botbitz or the Australian air mail service! These 10A ESCs are nice and compact, roughly the size of my thumb:



The lipo battery will sit behind the drive motors and then these ESCs will fit behind them, tucked away right at the back. Haven't tested them out yet though so might give them a try on Flatulence just to see that moving, then transfer them across to Flam for a test of those 1000rpm motors. Managed a couple of hours in the Cave of Blunders tonight and got the drive and weapon motors mounted:



Current weight is 444g, but I'll need to make up some aluminium re-inforcing sides as there's a little too much flex in the chassis for a spinner at the moment. Drum tube is ordered so just waiting for that to get sent. More pics of both robots to follow over the weekend.
