SCAR Kit


ROBOT COMBAT IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. THIS WEBSITE IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR EDUCATION. 
ALWAYS WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION AND SAFETY GEAR. 
DON’T OPERATE TOOLS YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TRAINED ON.

1400rpm N20 Motors

Motors make your robot move when attached to tires!

These turnabot motors are a step above other n20s! Turnabot N20 motors stall at an incredible 2.0+ amps on 2S. It is VERY hard to stall these with common insect weight drive system.

Malenki Nano HV

Front of Malenki

Back of Malenki

The Malenki Nano is an advanced speed controller. Basic speed controllers take the input from your receivers and translate it into movement in your motors. The special thing about the Malenki nano is it also has an integrated receiver, so it reduces the weight needed to control and talk to your robot!

2S 370mah battery

Always wear protective eyewear when handling any battery.

Always charge lipo batteries in a lipo sac.

Always balance charge lipos. This means that you have the balance plug attached when charging.

Always have safety sand buckets within reach, to bury lipo if there is any indication that it has started to “puff up” or smoke at all.

Never use damaged lipos.

Use proper handling.

These batteries give your parts power!

30.4mm x 14mm LEGO wheel

These lego tires give a very easy way to have reliable, grippy tires!

37mm x 22mm Lego Wheel

These lego tires give a very easy way to have reliable, grippy tires, and are a little larger for easy designing!

Wiring

The SCAR Kit uses JST plugs for ease!

Micro spdt switch
Zipties

Zipties are used for securing wiring and keeping things in place during the big hits that happen during combat!

Heat Inserts

Heat inserts allow you to add threading to mount a bolt easily, and it won’t wear out the printed materials.

Giant Paperclip


The paperclip is meant to be used as a hinge! Cut it up (safely, wearing eye protection) and use it to push through and act as a pivot point!

What does the scar kit NOT come with?

Battery Charger

We find most people already have a suitable lipo charger available to them, but if you don’t we do offer a charger available here:

Controller/Transmitter

Many types of Controllers/Transmitters can be used in robot combat – and the choice of transmitter is very personal.

We like to let people choose for themselves, but do point out that the Malenki nano only works with a select few transmitters. See our recommended transmitter for the Malenki linked below:

We wanted to give some fundamental tips on how to assemble the electronics of your SCAR Kit! These are beginning guides, because how the parts are placed/which parts are used will be dependent on what design you create and your own preferences.


Connect Drive Motors to Malenki HV

Find the first motor tabs and solder them to the L section of your Malenki:

For 4-wheel Drive only: Connect 2nd motor on left side to the first motor tabs after attaching to L section of malenki

Find the second side motor tabs and solder them to the R section of your Malenki:

For 4 Wheel Drive Only: Connect 2nd motor on right side to the first motor tabs after attaching to R section of malenki

Connect Switch to Malenki HV

Connect the JST plug negative wire (black wire) to the negative (-) pads.

Connect the lowest pin on the switch to the red wire of the JST plug

Connect middle pin of the switch to the positive pad on the malenki
