I want a good balance between weight and power, of course. Better to have weight to spare. The Park HPXF weighs 19g apparently, and costs £10.99.

Been thinking about having a servo per wheel. That's 76grams for approx 44 quid. Worth it?

50:1 hp gearmotors are the way to go then

Motors? Won't I need a speed controller, whereas servos don't?

You will, but four motors + a controller will weigh something like 50g at most, and be a lot faster and more powerful than servos.

Ah, okay. I thought getting into speed controllers is scary complex for someone who hasn't done this before.

Sorry to bump my own thread, but I think I need some learned advice again...

I took a while in ordering, because I don't do internet buying and don't have a non-debit credit card (yet), and so I got a friend to use their credit card, and I would pay them back.

Well, by this time Sussex model center say they're out of stock in the Planet 5 transmit/receive sets, and they probably won't have any until the end of July, but they recommended this set instead:the Saturn 5.

So, would any of you recommend the Saturn 5 for Antweight roboteering, or should I wait for the Planet 5 to come back in stock?

There are a few ants and indeed feathers that use the saturn sets, although I personally have no experience using them. Technobots sell them, there should be a bit more info on there. I can't 'recommend' the saturn sets but since they've been used I haven't heard any complaints.

£10

Could you give me some other specs for it? How many channels? Are we talking a set of transmitter and micro-receiver here, or are you just talking about the transmitter?

Send me a message, thanks.
