no. its a two speed. two speeds are a pain in the ass to work with because of the gearbox construction. everything is held together with the drill casing. the harbor freight 900rpm drill is actually cheaper, comes with a battery/charger and have a proven record in both the 12 and 30 weight classes. I also have an instructable on how to hack them.
You paid $4.99 for a CD-R with a single song on it?
sh**, I could be a millionaire...
Kidding... Very interesting piece, but I do believe you overpaid a bit. The cover art is probably hard to come by, though.
Hahah! Actually the CD has three songs on it. You are kinda right though because I normally would only pay a buck tops for a music CD via ebay or thrift shop and then I just encode it instead of purchasing it for full price online.
And the Freebie is the Dr. Inferno Jr Soundtrack CD (4 songs on that one). I am currently conversing with the seller about other Battlebots Stuff. Nothing solid, more on that later.
Man he gave you a better deal than he gave the guys on the RFL forum. He only offered them a pack of RFL trading cards with every purchase....
Sweet. Is there a Dick Dastardly to go with it or is it just Muttley?
Yes there was. Dick Dastardly was a horizontal spinner built by a guy who used to be on here (zipdragon64)
So... now about how the event went.... Dick Dastardly/Muttley fought as a 6lb multibot and went 0-3 at BotBlast. It was fun though all its fights were very entertaining.
I like your ideas... you just need to work a bit on executing them a little better but that will come with time and playing around with RA2. as said before, piglets don't make good drive motors. they just don't have the torque to move a heavy weight. try using the mags or NPC motors. I usually shoot for 2 NPC's or 4 mags in a weaponed hw bot or 4 for a pushy bot. 2 npc's are adequate for a mw pushy bot and two mags are plenty for a weaponed one.
