So as I'm sure some of you are aware a robot off the show has been listed on eBay and well I'm the fool who won it.

So here are the pictures off the advert (as it will be a week before I can pick it up)

So the plan of action is to bring it back to fully working order weapons an all

First thing will be to pick it up then I'll get back to you with more pictures

She is not a runner. She's been sat outside for 13 years but I can get the thing working. Maybe even upgrade it. I need to get some speed controllers or mod some wheelchair escs but we will see how it goes :). Also need to get some titanium plate

And you mean Sgt bash

Killalot was to Robot Wars what Big Daddy was to wrestling! Hypnodisk for carnage and the wedgey shaped one (that flipped the other ones over or out, big ginger lad drove it but can't remember its name) for style and class!

Yet another update I have decided on the motor setup

I will be using 2x beast x528 motors rated close to 200amps and 7kw power OR the turnigy track star 720kv and 5kw power (still more than enough and cheaper than the x528's)they also have a 12mm shaft unlike the 8mm on the x528's

The speed controllers are going to be 2x turnigy trackstar 200amp opto car esc's as the can handle up to 1000amps burst and 200amp cont which the motors only draw 193amps at full chat

Plus there power and amp draw will be reduced via gearing down so she will be nippy and have plenty of pushing power

Esc's https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__24754__Turnigy_Trackstar_1_5th_Scale_Sensorless_200amp_8s_Opto_Car_ESC.html

Total just under
