Re: Beetle weights

Yeh i would say that as well, but I think you could have built one for as little as £30 (servo drive etc)

Re: Beetle weights

Kookaburra cost me a bit less than 30.

Drill battery-£free
2x servos-£10
Ally tread plate-£1.50 (scrapyard)
Spectrum rx-£6
Chopping board-£3.50
Wheels-£free (off a pushchair I found smashed up)
Bolts-£2

Total:£23

Of course this is just an example, but it can be done quite cheaply.

Great now it's costing me 50 quid more so it's all together costing me 78 quid because the postage put up the price by a pound so instead of 27 quid it's costing 28 quid and I have anouther 50 pound to add so yeah it's 78 pound that's like a year of pocket money
