Could you put a link to a site with these motors with links? I've always had to solder mine in the  past :/
They don't have links, but they attach straight to most AW Speed Controllers
Wait, so the servos just plug in, what do these do? Do you have to solder them on?

To bad the Xbox is a pretty worthless console that has already had too much flaws. Plus it's from Microsoft, which just means that there will be problems.

Not saying the PS3 is perfect, but it is way better... On somewhat all parts.
+that is has games like R&C, LBP, Wipeout, Motorstorm (which I still want), Resistance: Fall of Man (awesome game) and on Portal 2, cross platform gaming and chatting using Steam.
What flaws?

Flaws I know;
Expensive online
RROD (Fixed)

Xbox has more exclusives as well.

Or you could get a 360? halo is very good, and I prefer Forza 3 to GT 5, and Forza 4 is coming out soon.

And you get a slightly better online connection with XBL, even if it is a bit of a rip-off.

xbox doesnt not have Motorstorm or Sly Raccoon.. the main 2 reasons I want a new console..   

Also I dont recall saying anything about wanting GT 5 either?

Why did you comment again? :P
Because me = Xbox fanboy

I own 2, the original and the 360.

Hmmm.

I know that servos are pretty user friendly, do motors just clip in to the reciever too?

As for the polycarb you have, literally cut out a template, and you can literally bend it into shape

Make sure either your top or bottom panel is removable
I'm not planning to have a panel under the flipper, I could use that as an access point? And what do you think about using speedhacked servos, or motors?

Okay, as for what you should aim for now:

Rubbers
2 Supervolts
DSA
8 razors, 4 on each ddt
DDT wedge
Small wedge component
Two extenders to attatch the small wedge in the middle of the bot (you will need this with the chassis you will have to make)

AKA, the Psyc popup
Done all except the DDT wedge, changed to snapper 2, the wedge is improved! It's now 391 kgs

IDK, I think I'll need a second opinion before I do anything.

DDTs are the best wedges, right? And popups rely on their wedges.

And I don't really have weight for armour, even if I did, I don't have the space to attach a baseplate anchor. What should I do?  :confused:

Onto my next bot, my first (Decent) popup in Stock; Tungsten! (I have a periodic table poster next to me, I just took the first thing I saw and named the bot after it)

Horrid paint job!


Yes, I know I used angle extenders, but otherwise the razors would stick out too far. I believe that it is the better setup on this robot, especially as they're usually hidden inside the chassis. If you think I should use another method, do tell me, but PLEASE tell me why is is better than the setup I have now, just telling me to remove them without giving good reason isn't helping.








Can score OHKOs if timed correctly.

It's pretty light, but I see what you mean. Also, it's 4WD, so it would drain 2x as much as your standard RWD car, I suppose.

Anyways, how would I go about constructing this thing? I was thinking of getting all the parts hooked up and ready, then make as chassis around them, then attach armour panels onto the chassis (All this out of Lexan)

Thanks Mike and SKBT for your knowledge.  I had no idea those batteries could power that much for so long.  I guess I overestimate the power draw of Servos (mainly because most of my experience is related to RC cars and such)  Great learning thread so far.
Yeah, it makes me think of how inefficient my RC car is. It drains it's fairly large LiPo battery in under 10 minutes.

TF2 references without playing TF2. It's a pet peeve of mine.
OK then...

So I'm fine with the battery I have? plus, with my driving and half the arena walls missing, matches won't last long. ;)

And what is your opinion on the motors/speed/360 rotation hacked servos for drive?

eFFe loading, and if you're out of space eFFe loading combined with snapper loading.

Not a very clear picture, but shows the basic idea:

(Image removed from quote.)
eFFeLoading? What is that? Another name for the eFFe glitch or a mix of it and another glitch?

@ the royal badger- you can stack them with snappers and stuff, and joeblo also found away to kinda stack them close together.
Could you please explain how to?

Quick question;
How do you minimise the space taken up by drive motors in a Popup? Is there any way to stack zTeks?
