RW pullback to antweight conversion

[mattsdragons]

(BTW, no idea were to put it so i poped it here)

has anyone ever done this or ever considered doing it?

ive always liked he idea of doing a little chaos 2 or something really just for the fun of it, nothing competative, just for a laugh and since antweights dont cost all that much to build, its something i could add to when i have a few £££ spare.

just wondering qabout opinions really and to which mini-bots would make good bases?

George did a Chaos, Ian Lewis did a Razer, Ian Lockheart did a DTK and Torando.

There is a build thread of Jamie doing it about 3 months ago...

wrong, mine have cost about £170 just to be mildly competitive

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

Humm, I wonder if they would mind me doing duplicates?

And im not after anything competitive, just a bit of fun really and for something to chuck in the arena during show breaks

Dan has made a Sir Killalot from a pullback toy. He also has a Matilda that he plans on doing.

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

I attempted Chaos 2 but, although I could fit all the parts in, I had to remove literally everything from inside it and replace some gaps in the base etc with small bits of polycarb. I never got it fully working either, although I was in a rush trying to get it ready for a competition so it didn't represent my best efforts but it way down on my to-do list now so whether I'll ever get round to getting it running, I don't know.

I think a good one would be Panic Attack. The shell is hollow and there is a good amount of room inside for components. I did pull Sir Killalot apart too to have a look and it's convertible (using micro servos to control the arms etc) but would be a little more complex.

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

But could you fit in the motors needed for drive, esc's, batteries, rc gear and the motors needed for the forks and self righter?

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

If you buy small enough components. If you use servos for drive, you don't need escs, and you could use a couple of servos for the lifter/srimech.

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

With the new components available, its very possible to get good components inside the shell of the pullbacks. If you want to convert any paticular toy I can help with it, if I am supplied the right parts.

Haz: The cost is down to new parts and replacing old ones. My ants, if I bought the parts from new, would probably be £100 each, not including transmitters.

putting it in the antweight section might have been a good idea seeing as this topic is ABOUT ANTWEIGHTS!

anyone ever done this or ever considered doing it?

asides from the already mentioned i'm pretty sure panic attack has been done

dont cost all that much to build, its something i could add to when i have a few £££ spare.

neither does a featherweight if you make it out of cardboard, glue and your neighbours dog. it all depends on what you build with what components.

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

well its kind of about antyweights, but also robot wars toys

just seen that the panic attack toy has no self-righter which could be a problem

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

Sir K has quite a bit of space. Dan got the claw arm moving (replaced the claws with Ti ones) and the lance arm spinning.

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

I think X-terminator would be a good one to convert, there's lots of space inside, but on that scale an axe wouldn't be effective.

Re: RW pullback to antweight conversion

ive thought about possible a firestorm or a WBC?
