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 Edited November 12, 2014 by dlegend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlegend Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited October 18, 2014 by dlegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlegend Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) So what I have heard is that spinners and cutters are banned so maybe I'll redesign the cutting blade if anyone has any idea's be sure to post them. Only thing I will not do is an axe Edited October 19, 2014 by dlegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autobutcher Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 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!

dlegend Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ok don't laugh but here is a quick drawing of what the chassis will be redesigned into main to reduce weight and to improve overall performance also to accommodate a flipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlegend Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) 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 Motors -http://www.skyrc.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=141 Turnigy motors https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25409__Turnigy_TrackStar_1_5th_Sensorless_Brushless_Motor_760KV.html Esc's https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__24754__Turnigy_Trackstar_1_5th_Scale_Sensorless_200amp_8s_Opto_Car_ESC.html Total just under Edited October 19, 2014 by dlegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderwolf Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 tis a fairly large shaft, tbh i don't see a reason you would need a thicker shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
