I want to buy parts!
I am looking to buy broken Combat Digi-Qs. Most specifically I need the conical mirror/lens assembly on the top of the tank (this piece from other brands would be ok, also). I would also be interested in motor/gear assemblies and treads. I have no real use for the controller. If you have pieces with which you would be willing to part, please PM me here on the forums.
Thanks -Robotguy http://robotguy.net/#RobotGallery |

hi robotguy,
what are you planning to build with the parts ? |
Coming by anything from the Combat Digi-Q line is VERY hard. Production stopped back in '04, not to mention the product line was available via import from Japan ONLY so prices were high.
There's a knock-off brand called VsTank though and they have the R-type line with the rotating turrets (just like the Combat Digi-Q rotating turrets had) and these VsTank*R as they're called just started being released and so far it seems ToyEast is selling them along with accessories and spare parts! http://www.vstank.com/rtype/index.html and http://www.toyeast.com/v3/catproduct...id=1528&clvl=4 You can find a set (2 Tanks) for ~$65 shipped from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/VsTank-R-DX-COMB...QQcmdZViewItem Good luck! |

Well, it's been a while since I worked on it, but it will be based on this

spare parts
very interesting, a whole swarm you say ? :)
if you are planning in numbers, maybe it would be cheaper to use VS*R tanks, but i have no idea what type of gears they have. the little " lens " thingie can also be found on the realy realy cheap clones, but usually the gear's are of a very cheap quality and of little use. I was wondering, you are also looking for motor/gear assemblies and treads. i take it you want to mount your own electronics ontop of it ? as the digiQ treads are very small, won't it topple over ? here is somebody who made use of digiQ gears for a microbot, maybe it is of use to you. http://www.wildrobots.com/nano/gallery.htm parts you could use ? http://www.bittybot.com/index.php?pageId=Products if i recall correctly, there was a yahoo group about building bittybot's, maybe there's some more info there. hmmmm, wouldn't it be nice to have a autonomous combatdigiQ searching it's way trough the battlefield.... ( hey, i can daydream if i want to ) :) |
As far as the clones go, I am really only interested in the lens. The gearing on the Digi-Q is nice, but apparently unavailable. The bots that I am working with now already have motors, wheels, controllers, etc. That being said, I am always looking for small motor/gear sets.
I have told my kids that i would like a set of the VsTanks for my birthday week after next, so we'll see. |
