Ant Growler (Barker)

[webby]

This is my part converted Growler toy, i need to get an orange rx, battery and resistors to finish it.

One servo board fitted.

Test to fit all of the electronics apart from mouth servo.

Compared to a Spektrum radio.

Sgt Bash will be a total b**** to make!

Are those scalextric tyres? That is an awesome conversion!

Re: Ant Growler (Barker)

Thats brilliant

Does it fit the cube and weight limit ?

Re: Ant Growler (Barker)

what is the cube? 4 inch?
and ill weigh it tomorrow but i doubt it
Just did it for fun really

Re: Ant Growler (Barker)

Think I measured it a while back as a possibility but it's 5 long so it's just a bit too big, even along the diagonal.

It's looking great, though if I remember rightly those tyres are incredibly grippy so might drain your battery quite quickly on 4WD. But if it's just for fun that's not really a problem I suppose
Any plans to power the jaws?

Re: Ant Growler (Barker)

Yeah they are grippy but goot for pushing i guess
And what k resistors do i need for the servo board? i heard somewhere it was 2.2k is that true?

Re: Ant Growler (Barker)

Yeh 2.2K

Re: Ant Growler (Barker)

Going to do a bit of work on this now, just need to solder the resistors and the servo leads so i can test drive it.

Fitted the RX and battery, but i need to remove to remove the RX case as it wont fit.

Looks really good. I'll bring Sir Killabit along to the champs and we can have a couple of house robots roaming around the arena!

I'll buy a pint for anyone who can miniaturise a flame thrower for Bash
