Looking good and v quick
What motors are you using?

 

[ady347]

i use 12v cordless drill motors x 2, they are converted to use as a drive motor by myself, i run them on 12v with a sabertooth speed controller. I am currently converting him to 4wd for his next public appearance. This is so i can use him on any indoor or outdoor surface.
currently he has ball transfer units on the front so i cannot use him outside as tarmac would just chew them up.
