Two updates.

1. I have been working on a 12-lb robot recently. No photos yet. I'm using parts from a Pitsco Tetrix set that originally was used in the FIRST Tech Challenge, as well as a Spektrum DSMX AR-600 Receiver and a pair of Dynamite Tazer ESCs to control the Tetrix 12v Gearmotors.

2. I found my old Hanger 9 12v PowerPro starter, which is used to start RC aircraft engines up to .90ci. I don't use it since I have a more powerful starter on hand now. Would this be good for a weapon motor for Battlewagon?

No good, stater motors are not made to be used for long periods of time, the self destruct if you use it as a weapon motor!
