So, long time no see.Thanks to generous relatives, I now have 225 dollars to work with, so I decided to finally make a competitive antweight, and I have made a list of parts:Drive: Four 33:1 FingerTech Silver SparksESC: A pair of Tiny Esc V2sRadio: Hobbyking 6 channelPower: http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-EFLB4303SJ.htmlCharger: http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/DYN4101Wheels: 2.5 inch Lite Flites w/ Finger tech hubsArmor: 3/4 inch UWMH sides, 1/16 inch thick garrolite top and bottom plateWeapon: .125 inch thick 7075 aluminum hinged wedgeAnyone see any problems?
I think I'm going to drop the silver sparks in my robot for now, WAY to much for right now, they eat up almost half of my budget. Does four 50:1 gold sparks sound good?I also will drop the wheel size to 2 1/4 inches. Armor will still be 3/4 inch UWMH, and top and bottom will be 1/16 inch thick garolite. The wedge will now also be 1/8 thick hardened chrome-moly.Should I move the wheels into my bot? Or should I keep the inside. I'm not sure, because I want to go to ComBots in October.Also, should I drop the Original Sin hinged wedge, or go with a static wedge and risk other wedges get under me?
Hey, is this a good price? I want to replace my cheap ass Hobby King Radio.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spektrum-Dx6i-6-Channel-2-4ghz-Dsm2-/110914521091?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item19d3054803
