Re: motors

If you're going with a featherweight (as suggested by many people as a first robot) then some drills should do nicely. It's a motor, gearbox and batteries all in one so are a good starting point.

Re: motors

people alway say feathers are the best starting point, start at ants i say, easier :P

True, but I took a stab at drills because Ben has been posting in the featherweight forum.

Re: motors

Go to any model shop near you, they'll have ideal motors for an Antweight, aswell as shafts, gears, radio systems, everything.

I suggest Maplins.

Re: motors

(dear Jack) my Fw can pwnzor your antweight

I would advise starting with A FW as they are in a lot of cases easier than ant weights and IMO more fun :shock:

Re: motors

I'd disagree about being easier, it is very possible to build a fairly competitive antweight using superglue, a Dremel cutting disc and lots of No More Nails double sided strips :P

Re: motors

i would agree with you joey but its the hacking of the servos that gets the newbies , it took me quite a while to get it right and the internet guides are not substitute for experience

Re: motors

I didn't hack my servos XD got them pre-hacked from Pete Collier's store, much easier...
