Tweedy's Beetleweight Stuff

[Thyrus]

are you going to take Minor Tom to MMM in may?

Unfortunately not, I have no money atm and it's not a cheap event to go to. the soonest I'll be able to go to a MMM is next year.

you must be kidding :o

Post burgess hill Minor Tom is looking a little worse for wear. As far as fights go, with Craaig driving he managed to topple and immobilise flow but inevitably get flipped and pitted. When marty drove he got caught by tinyhurtz which snapped one of the lid mounts and hit a battery causing a lot of smoke, to top it all off a rammer managed to push Minor Tom and 2 other bots onto the floor flipper after that leaving the panel hanging off Minor tom and the smoke growing quite violent.
On the second day I missed the first fight as I was repairing the lid as much as possible, the second fight of the day was okay however I wasn't aware someone had hit the pit release and in the delay between it being hit and dropping I got one wheel caught on the edge so I ended up in the pit, second fight was similar but I toppled Mini Mighty Mouse and accidentally drove myself and a rammer into the pit because depth perception.
Overall it was pretty good, everything held up mechanically even after minor tom hit the ceiling of the arena which is good, does need 2 new cells in it's pack though but that's a simple fix. Some new lid mounts and a repaint are also in order.

Well it's currently with Haz so it's been with 3 so far.

Nice motor is nice. Drive motors and wheels are ordered and on the way as well.

Are the wires compatible with one another? Also, what receiver do you use?

[Badnik96]

Looks awesome. You have the bullet connectors for the ESC?

[Tweedy]

Are the wires compatible with one another? Also, what receiver do you use?

Not in their currrent state, no, the esc needs some female bullet connectors so the motor can plug into it, and for this I'll either be using the transmitter/receiver from minor tom which is just a cheapo giant shark one or a planet 5 set depending on whether minor tom is running for bluewater or not.

[Tweedy]

Terminus is finally robot looking once again, it's getting a new hardox bar before bluewater but there won't be an arena there so it's likely that it won't see full combat until some time next year.

Looks sleek and awesome

[Badnik96]

Awesomeness. How much of the chassis I sold you is left?

[Tweedy]

Only the weapon bulkheads really since the motor mounts act as the sides and it's got a new lid and baseplate.
