Team Thrifty /Fifty Build Diary for Bitza

[Laser]

What ESC's do you use?

[PJ-27]

Electronize in Bitza and I'm putting Mtronics in my Beetle.

[Laser]

for the price between the dx5e and dx6i it's best to get a mixer they're only £10

[PJ-27]

So is Delta mixing the sort we use to get tank steer on one stick?

There must be a way round the half power problem......

[Laser]

I think delta steering is on one stick eg forward, back, left, right.

[PJ-27]

Well we won (eBay) the DX5E Tx, so i'll let you know how we get on with it!

do u have any photos of the inside of bitza?

[PJ-27]

You can check the photo bucket page, but I don't think so....

The lighting is pretty crap in the workshop in winter so all internal shots came out like muddy blobs.

I'll try and get some of Bitza next time i'm in the work shop and other Bitza 2 when we start building.

What is the best way to bend Titanium?

I've managed to come into some Grade 5 (Ti6A) Ti (don't worry it's an off cut, so still Bitza esque...) that I want to use on my Beetle, but I'm concerned it will crack if I bend it without heat?

It's 2mm thick, and I need to do a 90degree bend along a 40mm section (possible longer sections if I can afford the weight).

I've got some Cobalt drill bits to machine it, but not too sure the best way to cut it? Angle Grinder?

Thanks!
