Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Unfortunately john it didnt get lost- but i did miss it, its at the depot ill get it in the morning..

Went to eds place this evening (and possibly got a speeding ticket on the way because of some cops with nothing better to do sitting in a lay by just behind a 30-national speed limit sign.

So wasn't that enthusiastic when i got there but we got abit done never the less.




Also got some weight out of the lipo box's all in all saved about 100gram.

Got the delrin gears for the pot fitted aswell but they ended up being the wrong size.. will order some new ones tomorow.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Received the disc Ian its great thanks, cant even scratch it with a file tried to Polish it up a bit with Brillo pads (those green things from the kitchen) but didn't want to polish it to much because a) my arm hurt, b) it wasn't having hardly any effect and c) I'm not sure how deep the coating is and i didn't want to go through it?

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

I wish you said you were polishing it, it would only have taken me 10 minutes on the polishing wheel at work!!!! i even tested it on the back because I thought you were leaving it as is.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Wahoo it selfwrights! finaly got the gearbox working nicely, just got to make a little mount for the pot and wire it up, will mount the pot tomorow and wire it saterday and hopefully get a vid online.

Also machined some weight out of a few other bits. lost 30g from the battery box and another 20 from my armour.

Looking to be 19grams underweight at the moment, Can machine another 20gram out of the disc gearbox maybe...

Also my new esc's will hopefully be with me in the next few days. Ill post more about them when they arrive.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Still no vids.. not had chance, striped it down to re-wire.

Bored of soldering deans connectors so going to update this and call it a night.

Pic of the weight reduction done on the drive lipo box;


H5 mount finished and ready to be installed, Theanks to Dave gamble again for sorting them out... having some issues with the pot feedback but atleast its working as a speed controller at the moment.


Just finished doing abit of wiring.. Like to take my time on wiring as its one of the most important parts of a robot in my opinion.. Got a new super bright green LED for the drive power and a red super bright LED for the disc lipo.. both running of the mains with resistors inline yada yada... Its to bright tho i keep looking over them and blinding myself lol
