Ok So I am currently gearing up for sportsmans, Sportsmans is held in Brisbane and is a special class, no big kinetic spinners, this is a try out new ideas and innovation sorta comp. Last year we made our first axe robot "Juistice Bot" Who did quite well.
I wasnt going to touch it and comptete with it in its current form but i could not help myself.
Current upgrades I want to do is.
Brushless 4WD, Brushless 2WD went well last year, but after driving a 4WD brushless bot (incitement) I am hooked.
Install a fan or maybe brushless weapon motor- the atv starter motor worked very well but was prone to overheating even on 12v.
and some impact hoops- what these are will makes sense when I have built them so more on that later.
Here is progress so far.
Lopped off the side Armour and a side wall to install the 4WD Brushless drive train.
My hubs are currently being printed and Belts are on the way so I cannot start modifying the chassis just yet.
Motor Cooling
This is the motor
12v ATV Starter motor
and here is a cheap motor heatsink and fan from Hobbyking,
alas it is waaaayy too small
So that is next on the list _________________ Creative Instigation - Build Something Awesome!

Belts for drive, worked really well for incitement, was going to run a similar set up. _________________ Creative Instigation - Build Something Awesome!
