What weight class?

ooooooh *drool* Datsun Z

Is that a 280? I absolutely adore the old Slot Mag rims of that style. Excellent choice! I have an RX7. Rear Wheel drive cars like that are a blast to drive. Congrats Mike!

It's a 1974 260z with the L24 from a '72 swapped in.

Best racing game for xbox/360.

Forza 3's coming out in a few months and it looks amazing. 400+ cars, 100+ tracks.

BACKONTOPICTYME!

what would you suggest for a good eggbeater/drum for a ant. I dont have a lathe, milling machine, or lots of money.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #229 on:** June 17, 2009, 07:46:49 PM »

Probably having the Whyachis do it. It won't be cheap, but it'll be a very good cost to value ratio.

roboman2444 · « **Reply #230 on:** June 17, 2009, 07:52:34 PM »

what about dc waterjet. mostly now it is the cost.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #231 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:01:55 PM »

Unless the beater is very oddly designed, the shaft/shaft holes can't be done on a waterjet. Whyachi can make and harden whatever you want 'em to, and they do real high quality work.

ok ill either do whyachi or just use a sawblade.

Ummm... Be careful. You know what youre doing right? Like how not to use a sawblade made for wood or anything else but metal.

i know
big teeth and it is from the rm. about 4 1/2 in diameter. i think vdd uses t.

moonbear · « **Reply #235 on:** June 19, 2009, 12:41:07 PM »

Oh, I thought you meant you would cut out the beater with a sawblade...

roboman2444 · « **Reply #236 on:** June 19, 2009, 01:23:49 PM »

nononono it would vibrate like

even if i did manage to cut through steel.
on mtf(the original) i used an erector set bar and it vibrated to much. maybe it was my shaft mount, but i want something more stable.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #237 on:** June 19, 2009, 03:17:44 PM »

The erector set bar was probably unbalanced. In small bots, saws make decent weapons. Even seen 'em put to good use in 12/15lbers.

In other thoughts, I got the 260z running today. It needed a new battery. Now it cranks up real easy. Need to tweak the thing a bit to drop the idle rpm, but it's running.

the best engine for a robot is a chainsaw. replace the chainsaw with a normal chain, hook it up to your wep and voilla! killer robot.
