That rocks, very nice! With all that reduction, those EV warriors might even take MORE than 24V - might be worth doing some cereful experimentation. In robots, I've run them at 36V with about 50% success - about 50% the the ev warriors tested threw thier windings at 36V. The other 50% still run to this day. Manufacturing tolerances I think. Never had any problems, however, at 30V. As long as the gearing is low enough EV warriors (or any motor) can be run at higher voltage - and higher horsepower - without destroying themselves.

Hello to one and all.  I finally have a rolling chasis.  I have been working
on my Tiger I for about a year, but it is finally mobile.  I have attached
some pics of it.  I also have a couple avi files showing it moving and was
wondering where to send/post those.

I am using two EV Warriors with a two 3-1 reductions.
The track is very primitive, but works.  I it is made out of two pieces of
wood that sandwich embrodery tape (of all things, but it works well).
I am using and Anvilus MRC for controls and a Futaba radio.
The suspension is functional, and the chasis will hold 100+lbs with squating
to much.

Well, that's all for now.
