It looks good overall, but… There are some errors. The term for the battery charger is .6A or 1.2A not .6V or 1.2V.

The other errors are in the mechanical servo attachment. They’re attaching the servo to the ASB-04 before attaching a “C” bracket. I don’t see ANY mention of attaching the back side of the “C” bracket to the ASB-04. Lastly they show attaching the aluminum horn to the “C” bracket with nuts on the back side of a tapped hole. I don’t get that.

Overall there is some good useful information in there, but there is also some bad info.

Nice pictures though!

yeah i agree. there are errors and also it seems they are doing things the longer way round.
i think overall it can be quite informative besides the errors.

Well done for pointing out the battery terms. overlooked that.

i was searching for some info on another area and this site popped up. you never know what you’ll find. :slight_smile:
