Re: smash 'em' up build diary

Looks very neat! How much did that cost in total? Couldn't be too much i suppose considering the ESC's and the good old SLA battery?

Re: smash 'em' up build diary

i haven't worked out the total cost but i reckon it will only be cheap
the tx and rx was only £20
the esc's were also £20
the steel was £7
and the wheels are robochallenge
and the plastic and battery were free

so its pretty cheap!!

What are those blue ESCs?

Re: smash 'em' up build diary

Chinese boat escs, 50 amp forwards 20 amp reverse. I used the black 50 amp in both direction versions but they were terrible. Blue ones might be better mind.
