Information

Crustcrawler's "C" channel design can accomodate full size batteries and allow you to route all of your electronic and servo wires neatly and cleanly inside the channel. Need to add assesories? Simply "bolt on" any number of hardware assessories such as the S2 sensor stand or the S3 tilt pan system to the generous number of integrated expansion slots and pem nuts found on the "C" channel. With a standard payload capacity exceeding 6 pounds, the HexRod defines heavy duty!

The key to all of this strength lies in the HexRod and QuadRod's efficient and flexible leg design. Some kits on the market employ inferior "servo bracket" designs which have servos bolted directly to a servos spindle. This poor design leads to hot running servos, high power consumption and very limited payload capacities because the servos have to constantly fight the entire weight of the robot . With CrustCrawler's efficiently engineered fulcrum point design, the entire weight of the robot including all assessories sit on the servos spindle (or drive shaft) when the legs are fully extended. The result is ultra low power consumption, cool running servos and the ability to carry 6+ pound payload capacities without sacrificing leg clearance or speed.

Ultra strong "C" channel center chassis design
