Hi guys, I am just expecting my 9398 to arrive soon and would like to be prepared with rechargeble battery supply. I do have a bike lamp which operates with this Li-ion battery pack here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Led-Lamp-6400Mah-18650-8-4v-battery-Pack-for-xml-T6-P7-LED-lamp-/251001613660?pt=UK_SportsLeisure_Camping_LightsLanternsTorches&hash=item3a70dcad5c and the charger for it. So, I would like to use the pack also on the crawler. The pack consists of 2 x 2 18650s connected in parallel and then connected together in serial. I am not an electrician but the output voltage should be something between 8,1 volt (measured today after a fully charging) and 7,4 volt after some usage. So I was thinking to use the above battery and increase the voltage on the motors by using 2 of this regulators: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321283653204?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 One regulator after the IR-receiver and before each motor. Possible?? If not, how about connecting the battery pack directly to the IR-receiver? I saw some tests and the crawler performs quite well with the Lego Li-Po battery. What do you think performance-wise?? Best regards, Daniel -
Evening All For Christmas I was lucky enough to get a 9398 Crawler from my wonderful family so my Meyra Optimus 2 wheelchair MOC was put on the 'back burner' After many weeks of the now, almost obligatory, huffing, puffing and cursing the Crawler has been completed and, even if I say so myself, it looks great. I very much enjoyed the build & didn't have too many problems. I had to build 'out of sequence' several times & had to employ a few build techniques of my own here and there but got there in the end. I'll not bore you with too many pictures as there are plenty on here already but here's mine. Today I've made a start on my 8461 Williams F1. Having spent a few evenings reading through the instruction book I anticipate several weeks of cursing ahead. Good job Jake's back at school! P.S. Sorry but I forgot to say that I didn't put the stickers on, my Wife had to do them for me.
