Your advice is crap. Never use servos for drive.
If you want cheap drive motors, try BaneBots.

What about putting on a hybrid drivetrain? One pair of servos for pushing power and one pair of high speed drive motors for speed.

Edit: and i'm going to try and implement this in DSL as well...

You might as well use two big ass motors and gear'em down.
Good luck with that in DSL.

Me & my few friends made ''Robomayhem'' We batlle with RC cars & Robots.
Weightclasses are 2, Lightweight under 1 kg. & Middleweight under 2,5 kg.
Lightweight arena:

Middleweight arena:

And the axle, RC-car is too old, so You cant find anywhere new axles... (mum searched internet and didn't find)

the lightweight arena is pretty cool, I want to build an arena, I was going to look into ploycarb buts its fairly expensive

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 12, 2009, 05:16:28 AM »

Actually that Lightweight arena is From Corona game but it has 4 ''pits''. xD

I built an arena for a competition at walts hobby. To my excitement Buster Blade was fighting there. Also since it was in syracuse the robot Final destiny was showcased there. Anyway Joeblo, if you want to make an arena for a fairly low price acrylic sheets are the way to go.

QFT, I dont know if any of my friends want to throw in the money building robots to fight, my latest antweight (the VS) shattered wood and perspex and cut right through tin lol

You need to shrink your pictures, Jonzu, or they will be removed.

no robots and acrylic do not mix in any way once so ever, not as frames, armor, and definitely not as protrction. acrylic shatters upon impact and you'll end up wasting money and not safe. if you want to make a 4x4 fairy box build it like antweight world series's box, 1/8" poly isn't to expensive and if your going to build and arena you should build it right

The acrylic sheet I got was only $40 and it was an inch thick and it can withstand anything.

zipdragon64 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 13, 2009, 08:00:38 PM »

and how big is this sheet? i wouldn't think its big enought to make a 4x4
