3mm aluminium bent & polypro broke within 3 fights.

Sounds like the guy who built it did a shoddy job

After I bought it, I even found it was cut & shunt from another machine.

Does it run well? I'm thinking of a similar drive setup for my first robot

[Danjr1]

yeah, runs fine! the dx6i mixer needs a little setting up but i can post the link if needed. only small issue is that the argos motors can be a little hit or miss with regards to quality but then again for £10, u cant moan!

I've found that, I've bought 2 and one had plastic gears and one had metal gears. But for £10 not bad.
