I couldnt help it, there was still snow.. i had a robot ready, just needs programming.. But every time I try to sit down at finish it, I make a new Trata.
Since this one has very flat sledges, it is very likely to cut sideways into snow and die, when turning / sliding on rough / soft snow.
I think it will be very fast and fun on hard snow / semi-ice. The kind that has melted a bit, and then turned into ice on top.
Just after finishing this, there was really crap snow; Newly fallen, and just about to melt. Soft and sticky!
But I had to test it anyway.. and.. well, I shouldn't have done that, see video.
They dont have any more of these propels at the shop now, but I will see what I come up with, hopefully in time before the snow is melted :)
Are you going to bend the Are you going to bend the ends of that aluminium? I do not live where it snows but my guess is that those skis on the trata would dig into the snow.
Oh snap! Nice looking rig Oh snap! Nice looking rig once again frits! If you are worried about blowing the esc, just keep the throttle down. you are in the snow though so that should keep things sorta cool. Last thing, since the battery and electronics are encloded, they might warm pretty quickly. now get it going and throw some video up!!!
Looking cool!! Better luck Looking cool!! Better luck with this one Seems you will get high speeds… maybe some kind of aerodynamic wings on it would be a plus!
Yes, the motors are the same - i have 4 in total… when the last car crashes
The sledges are this time made by some light weight metal - I think it was supposed to be mounted on the floow in a dorway or something. I cut it in two I covered them with some blank tape underneath, to make it more smooth on the ice.
Thanks, yes… I was Thanks, yes… I was considering small wings. Even had some ready to mount… There is just something about it… What trigs me here is to make that thing that slides over hard snow… wings are just not part of the equation
The point here is to slide, not to have a grip :)So I may not have understood you right, but if so, I think it is not a good idea, as I wantit to slide - that is how it is turning
However, I just added some "walls" on TOP of the sledges, to stop it from carving into snow when sliding. Because when it carves in, the propellar gets the snow on top of the sledges.
There is a lot to explain about these things, but I think I will just have to show you
