Hi Matt! As
you probably already heard of, the drill motors works great. Yesterday we
testdrove my friends M1A1 1:8 chassi and it uses 2 cordless drills, 18V with
high/low gears. The performance was pretty impressive. Max speed is on flat
road is estimated to be approx 4.5-5m/sek when using High gear. Slopes
poses no problems and when some of the minor problems been sorted out I think
these tanks tanks will be great fun! We
shoot some movie clips with a digital camera showing some of the action and I’ll
try to get those published soon a long with some more in depth building info. For
information we also recorded the peak amps which was recorded to a max aprox
42A while driving fast in terrain. Despite this the more normal power
consumption seems to be fairly moderate as we got approx 15min running time out
of a 2,2A cell(we use the ones that came with the drills for R&D) Cheers Fredrik -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- How are those drill
motors working? Do they look promising? liefg-at-juno.com wrote:
