Re: team combat penguin build diarys

It's looking really good mate. Bet it's got some grunt behind it now with those Gimsons! Get some videos of it in the arena, interested to see how it compares to your average four drill pusher.

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

Looking good Haz, much beefier looking with 4-wheel-drive. Kind of ironic that you've used Gimson motors in a robot that used to belong to the man himself

Re: team combat penguin build diarys

I love the fact that we are using the same motors in the same configuration with the same wheels with the same ESC's and yet have tow totally different designs! This is the stage mine is up to as of this afternoon...

Been having problems mounting the 900s so they make the pulley's for the weapon suitably tensioned and I know I am going to have problems making up a Metal box for my LiPo's

But that is going to be great to fight against! I look forward to meeting you in combat!

Re: team combat penguin build diarys
