TS3

Just a few questions...

What is the maximum Diameter of your whisk?
How much does it weigh?
What material is it made from?
What reduction off the Speed 900 are you using?
What voltage is it running at?

I am planning to use a whisk on Conker 3 so I am looking at what others have.

Hehe, perfect
All I have to do now is spec mine to be even more powerful than that, and yours is dangerous to start with!

If TS3 was run off a brushless it would be a cracking machine. Guess it goes to show that old school speed 900s can make up for their lack of power by attaching to an efficient weapon design.

It will be brushless for next year I recon and will have a 4kg beater - will keep the current one as a spare. It was only running a speed 900 this year due to the money I had available lol, luckily all the materials not including the nylon were out of works scrap bin so I didn't have to pay for a lot of the robot but having a house means I couldn't splash on expensive stuff all in one go that's all

Where will the weight come from for the 4Kg beater? You cant lose 500g by changing from a S900 to a HK-40... can you?
I am about to throw up the next iteration of Conker 3. I seem to be stuck with a 3kg beater simply cos of the 4WD but I may be able to mess with it to push that up! It will also be able to push like crazy if need be cos of the two 18v 775 motors on 16:1!

nah i'd just take aload more weight out of all the bits on works machine to get the weight down i was tempted to go 4 wheel drive too but decided to just keep it simple and stay with 2
