RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hey Tyler, Have you tried contacting the R2 builders Club..I know that there are some of them that have build their own MSE-6. Somebody there should have the top greebles that you can get to finish your mouse droid or can give you the info on how to make them.

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) TOO COOL Tyler! That looks like it's more fun than a barrel full of gundarks.... Your RC gives off a sound almost like the droid mouse did in Star Wars when it speeds away....

Topgun[TK] Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Okay Speedys new speed controler came in so I wired it up and tried it out, he now run faster, more efficient and hotter so I also had to install a cpu fan. I also forgot to post pics of the sound system I installed behind his boards. Oh yeah, by the way meet Spoon (Speedy's slave droid) Alex im gonna need another shell soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
