FingerTech 1lb Viper Parts Bundle

Price: Add items

• Our ever-popular Viper Combat Robot Kit is often out of stock! This is usually because of just one or two items being unavailable. Often, customers would prefer to substitute those items for other variations, so this product bundle is a way to do that yourself, à la carte!

This product is set up in a "multi-purchase" style so that you can easily see all the parts, and if any are out of stock you can still get everything else.  Check the Descriptions for alternate suggestions. 

• To purchase, add a "1" to each item on the multi-purchase list. Some items are noted as optional.

- Our ever-popular Viper Combat Robot Kit is often out of stock! This is usually because of just one or two items being unavailable. Often, customers would prefer to substitute those items for other variations, so this product bundle is a way to do that yourself, à la carte!

- The bundle is our suggested parts list, but if you want to change anything you can just add the parts separately and modify or subtract whatever you like. For example, you may already own a battery charger and radio transmitter/receiver - if so, you wouldn't need to add those.

- A full description of the Viper kit can be seen on the original Viper product page.


Standard Viper Components:
Baseplate:Aluminum stamped and formed baseplate . Has mounting holes for motors, armor and add-on kits.
Optionally, we have a 3D-printed baseplate for light duty, or plastic-only competitions.
Motors:2x 33.3:1 Silver Spark Gearmotors (one left, one right) - customers often substitute 22:1 Silver Spark Gearmotors for a zippier drive.
Motor Controllers:2x tinyESCs (one left, one right) translate the radio commands into motor movement and power the receiver.
Wheels and Hubs:2.25x0.75in Foam Wheels are soft and grippy. A direct hit will be absorbed and won't destroy your motors!
A pair of 3mm x 0.75" LW Twist Hubs hold the wheels in place, and a Twist Hub Key makes installation simple.
[If these thicker Wheels or Twist Hubs are out of stock, you may prefer to substitute them with the thin versions: 2.25x0.50" Foam Wheels and 3mm x 0.50" Twist Hubs]
Power Switch:A Power Switch/Charge Jack that you unplug to turn on. Comes pre-soldered with a female JST connector. The On/Off Plug has male JST end for easily recharging the lipoly battery. (Do not attempt to recharge a 9V alkaline battery.)
Power Distribution:A pair of Mini Terminal Blocks makes easy wiring connections.
Armor:3mm (0.12in) thick front wedge and 1.5mm (0.063in) top armor made of high-strength polycarbonate.
Screw Pack:Four 0.125" 2-56 screws for mounting the motors.
Four 0.50" 6-32 screws for fastening front armor.
Six 0.375" 6-32 screws for fastening top armor.
0.050" and 5/64" hex wrenches included for tightening setscrews and screws.

Optional Viper Components:
Radio Transmitter and Receiver Options:
T6A Radio Transmitter and Receiver:A radio transmitter and receiver are required. If you don't have them already, we recommend the T6A Radio Transmitter and TR6A receiver (Transmitter requires 8 AA batteries.)
T8S Radio Transmitter and Receiver:If the T6A is out of stock, or you would prefer a gamepad style transmitter, the T8S Radio Transmitter and Receiver will also work.
(This product is not listed in the multi-purchase list above, but you can add it to your cart directly from the T8S Radio page.

Power Options:
Battery (9V) and Adapter:If you choose to run your Viper on a 9V battery, we recommend Duracell Procell (PC1604) for over an hour of run time - better than every other 9V we've tested.
A JST-to-9V Battery Adapter is required for operating the Viper with a 9V battery.
[A JST to Dual 9V Battery Adapter can double run-time by using two 9V batteries.]
Battery (lipoly):To save the cost of repeatedly replacing a 9V battery, we recommend using the rechargeable 7.4V 300mAh "Galaxy" lipoly pack. Lipoly batteries can source more current for longer than a 9V.
Lipoly Charger:If you require a lipoly charger, the C6D Lipoly Charger is economical and small - great for carrying to events.
