You'd need 2 $50 servo's for the pommy drive motors or one of those duel Tamya gearboxes from Dick Smithes for $15 for the SOZ drive motors. Your choice really.
After having a good look around at both antweight and sozbot sites, here's some thoughts...
Sozbot is looking alot more competitive because of the extra weight, metal armour, etc.
But as for the radio gear vs Dick Smiths gear kits, I suppose it depends on whether or not you already have radio gear. Since I have only wheel radios for my RC cars, I need a radio set for multi-channel control for robot combat. Most of the radio gear these days come as a complete set (Tx, RX, servos, switch and battery pack) for the cost of the transmitter and reciever alone. There is a new brand of radio gear in the country - 3.8kg torque metal geared servos (weighing 45 grams) that retail for less then $35 ! Future 'bots will probably use gear sets from Dick Smith's...
So for a place to start, put me down for Sozbot ! _________________ There is no such thing as excessive carnage.
