Well, I just ordered a Developers kit and an extra controller, looking forward to getting everything. My plan is to convert a Wall-e into a robot, like on DJ's video. Which Wall-e should I buy to convert?
You will find both can fetch a very high price, the ultimate being the more expensive but the u-command, even without controller has sky rocketed in price.
In my opinion the u-command wall-e is the best one as a base for ez-b.
They cheaper ones dont have the needed technical complexity and the ultimate wall-e would be a waste.
whaaaaat!?!?! the ultimate wall -e is super well built but a complete mess when it comes to the remote and its abilities.
so much more can be done with the v4 as a brain.
my only real problem with doing any mods to my ultimate wall-e is my lack of experience.
ive completed my u command wall-e, starting on the Hasbro R2..then ill UPGRADE the Ultimate wall-e
I actually purchased the Disney limited edition wall-e for the neck, its awesome. got it for 20 bucks because it had no remote.
I paid a cool 100 for the u command wall-e (missed out when they were going for 40 or 50)
got the ultimate wall-e for 350 (sold the remote to a guy on this board for 50)
If anyone has one of those robots and wants to sell them I would be glad to buy them to fill the best 3 places in my vitrine
The first step in a Wall-E build is to strip out all the insides - electronics, motors, gearboxes, arm levers, drive shafts, etc They don't need to be working as you replace them with servos and the Ez-B controller
