Re: Team Avenger build diary

most probably, best thing is to measure the voltage with nothing running, then try and measure the voltage when under load (can be difficult to do safely). Don't know what charger your using, but might be worth getting a 12v low current (couple of amps) and charging each battery seperatly, make sure they all get a full charge.

Re: Team Avenger build diary

as ive got the weight spare on my feather, after a little advice

stick with my 8mm hdpe lid and base or swap it out for a 10mm polycarb lid and base?

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Running ReAvenger at whitwick then it's going, too many design flaws

So, ReAvenger v2 is on it's way, 4wd 12v Argos drills at 18v, vertical crusher

Will have some resemblance to plunderbird 5, but is being built in such a way that if flipped, can still drive about on it's back wheels with a hinged wedge

Will Hopfully be 3mm Hardox sides and front, steel base and back and polycarb lid (if I have enough weight steel)

Should be a fairly quick build as I have most if the parts, may even have the 4wd section ready for the FW champs but it's being designed in such a way as the claw can be detached and run as a invertable box wedge

Re: Team Avenger build diary

My champs qualifyers:

Q1: Johnny 2 x 4 v Reavenger v Mini Mighty Mouse =

Q2: Reavenger v Push n Shove v TS2 =

Q3: Omen v Cobalt v Reavenger =

Not too bothered about a wooden bot and a flipper

TS2, beater but will be a good fight

Omen (horizontal spinner) and colbalt (Hydraulic crusher)... Im going to die

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Finally got around to starting my FW rebuild for the champs and got tons done

Ive kept the old metal parts from V1, but scraped the 8mm hdpe base and lid in favour of 3mm steel, re-wired my battery pack and esc's

got the motor holes drilled and motors mounted

taking a few ideas from all over the place really

The main shell will be bolted to the base (much like 540) with all the electrics mounted to that

the main shell is fully welded, as is the base and back (the back will be 5-6mm steel) so the whole bot comes in 2 sections, should make it much easier to work on and generally stronger

hope tomorrow I shall get the esc's mounted and have a little drive, will get the battery box welded onto the base next week as well as the RX and BEC box done

All coming together well, will hopfully finish with time to spare for the champs, though as its me, I doubt I will
