I finally got some time to play with the robots today. I hooked up a couple of reversible RC car ESCs to the 2 drive motors in the base for the Buster I got. They seem to work ok except for the HF whine. Hopefully some sound deadening will cut that down. I down loaded the new software on my laptop too and didn't have anymore trouble than I did when I first installed the older version a few months back. I just loaded Windows 7 on this laptop a week ago and bumped the ram up to 4gig. The laptop runs better now then it ever did on Vista even when it was new. Those ESCs only cost $11.39 each with free shipping. I got them on eBay but it looks like the guy has sold out. I guess the camera in the head is next. see ya JW
