TRB's antweight project

[Badger]

So, a friend from school and I have been talking about antweights, so I'm going to try to finish this thing. He wants to make an AW as well.

So, all I need to know now is which battery pack to use and which charger to go with it. Should I use LiPo, or NiMh? If I use 7.4V, will the servos die? Etc.

I've settled on a Blue Bird BMS-380 MAX as a weapon servo. The cheapest I've found it for is £24.99 -shipping. Shipping outside the UK isn't really an option, long story.

IIRC, all I need are wheels, batteries and the other drive servo and the weapon servo, right?

Use a Lipo, think Hobby King servos, yes they can handle the volts, there you go.

Is this powerful enough?

Sure, just charge it right.

[Badger]

OK, and what charger do I need to go with it? I understand that if you get the charger wrong on LiPos they tend to get very dangerous very quickly. I know I need a LiPo charger, I'm just not sure on which one to get.

I'm using the SG-90s for drive and the Blue-Bird BMS-380 max for the flipper.

[Badger]

OK. Thanks for the heads up.

I would like to disguise this post so it doesn't look like a blatant bump, but I CBA.
