Does anyone have any internal pics of heavies they could share??

[daveimi]

As above really I've seen up close Megga Mouse and Toxic but wondered if anyone had any pictures of the insides of the likes of Ripper, Saint, Manta, Explosion, and so on. I'm just curious to see how they all go together, but you can tell me to do one if I'm being cheeky lol. I learnt the most about feathers from trawlling through looking for pictures so am guessing doing something similar with heavies will do the same. Particularly interested to see if anyone uses plywood etc on the inside to hold bits together and so on.

Thanks a lot

Dave

Hope this helps most of the pictures are from the first build or earlier versions. the drive has gone through many modifications from these but the layout has basically stayed the same.

Thank you so much for this I really really appreciate it.

Got a couple of pics from building Manta.

Might be able to track some more down if you are looking for anything specific.

I'm assuming you mean Eruption rather than Explosion! There are quite a few pictures from the original build here:

Typhoon 2

[daveimi]

Thank you all so much that's absolutely fantastic It's mostly just to see the structures inside to see how strong they need to be. I know Kronic has the internal frame and Tornado was a spinner, but are the others made by having the panels cut (waterjetted?) and then welded into a monocoque? And then obviously gearboxes made up and bolted in, a supply tank and two buffers? Then batteries, Wotty and cabling? From the looks of stuff I found on Google is Iron Awe the same and so on?

Bonk and the new Air are made with water cut bulk heads and then bolted in








Robots can be flat packed and really easy to work, both bots can have the whole centre section/gas system removed as one lump

Mute is fully welded but still has bulk heads

[daveimi]

Gosh this Mute stuff looks awesome. Everything here is miles above my fabrication skills. Will need to have a rethink lol Thank you lots for the pictures.

I got a few photos for Dystopia which i use in a kind of "it should look like this" kinda way after doing my own repairs. Otherwise when i touch things for the first time i fix them fine, but dont put them back in position correctly.

I will say though, if your looking to base anything off this good luck. Most of the vitals of the robot are hidden from view, and its realistically impossable to follow the flow of anything in there.

But anyway, if it helps

[daveimi]

Struth that looks a bit technical. Is it just a little monocoque with everything bolted in, with obviously lids and the flipper? It looks a bit like Ripper.

[Revsmin]

Look! It's me
Also, it was Ripper :P

[daveimi]

Ohhhh that makes sense!! Gosh it's tiny, how awesome is that!
