Thats an ancient store, and though some of the components are at a good price this is a case of you get what you pay for.

I used http://www.distel.co.uk/Asps/details1.asp?ID=HN62http://www.distel.co.uk/Asps/details1.asp?ID=HN62 in a robot a long time ago and this particular motor isnt too bad for a budget project but Id reccomend that its better to invest in gold motors which are a similar size if you were thinking of using them, to avoid having an underpowered machine.

What are you thinking of building?

All the best

You can sometimes pick one up cheaper second hand on here but to be honest, unless your putting one in a featherweight disc I would look for something a bit smaller.

If you are thinking of putting one on a featherweight spinner...Be VERY careful these motors are extremely powerful, and not to be messed with in that sort of application unless you have a serious understanding of spinner and chassis construction, paticually with regard to the long term effects of impact stresses and shock loading.

Ahh itll be alright. Along as you have plently of spare chassis.

If you dont want to be rebuilding frames after two or three events, I recommend making the core of the frame from 10mm aluminium. I have had several years experience on this and 5mm just isnt enough! To find out why, check my build thread: http://www.robowars.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74&start=0http://www.robowars.org/forum/viewto...p?t=74&start=0

Greetings Nick,

You could built it from Polypro. Dragonstrike armour is also its frame as well. It has a 2kg hardox 650 disc driven by a EV Warrior.
Any picks of Pain in the Asp yet Geoff.
