I’m excited to be returning to the world of robotics after a few years away. I’m in the process of building my new robot, “Hydrant 2,” and I could really use some guidance.
The design includes three micro geared motors: two for driving and one dedicated to the weapon (continuous rotation). Space is limited, so I’m looking for compact components.
Specifically, I need:
The smallest possible 7.4V LiPo battery that fits within tight space constraints
The best speed controller setup, ideally a pre-mixed type that can connect directly to the receiver for simplicity
Maximum power delivery to the weapon motor, of course.
If anyone has recommendations or sources for these components, I’d greatly appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
For the speed controller, I would say you need a Malenki Nano, obtainable from right here at BBB, since it is a pre mixed esc with an integrated receiver, with an extra brushed esc channel for your weapon. It only works with flysky (AFHDS2) radios though.
Echoing @McMullet Honestly with a need to control 3x motors and be small the Malenki nano is genuinely the best option. Cost effective too! Only downside is a compatible transmitter - gone are the days when the spektrum DX5e ruled the waves.
